Electrolyte gating of nanoscale complex oxide devices
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Electrolyte gating is a powerful method to induce large modulations in charge carrier density at a surface. This technique enables access to unexplored regions of the phase diagram in a variety of materials, and allows for devices at charge carrier densities beyond the dielectric breakdown limit. I will show how this technique can be combined with conventional nanofabrication to create novel gate-tunable nanoscale devices. I will show that electrolyte gating can be used in combination with nanopatterned conventional gates to realize a mesoscopic 2-dimensional electron system (2DES) in strontium titanate. Universal conductance fluctuations in the strontium titanate enable analysis of the rate and the sources of electron dephasing in this system. I will also demonstrate the use of electrolyte gating to reversibly tune the critical current of Josephson junction in a high-temperature superconductor fabricated with a Helium-ion beam. Finally, I will introduce a method to prevent electrochemistry in the device channel, improving the mobility of electrolyte-gated systems and the clarity of electrolyte gating results.
