"Water-cycle" mechanism for writing and erasing nanostructures at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface

Feng Bi, Daniela F. Bogorin, Cheng Cen +4

Nanoscale control of the metal-insulator transition in LaAlO3/ SrTiO3 heterostructures can be achieved using local voltages applied by a conductive atomic-force microscope probe. O…
