2 History of semiconductor physics One should not work with semiconductors, that is a filthy mess; who knows if they really exist Pauli 1931
3 First Semiconductor Transistor (1947) Bardeen, Brattain, and Shockley Bell Labs (1947) A picture of the first transistor ever assembled, invented in Bell Labs in It was called a point contact transistor because amplification or transistor action occurred when two pointed metal contacts were pressed onto the surface of the semiconductor material. The contacts, which are supported by a wedge shaped piece of insulating material, are placed extremely close together so that they are separated by only a few thousandths of an inch. The contacts are made of gold and the semiconductor is germanium. The semiconductor rests on a metal base.
4 High Quality Oxide Interfaces SrTiO 3 LaTiO 3 Examples of systems: SrTiO 3 /LaTiO 3 (interfacial 2DEG) LaMnO 3 /SrMnO 3 (spin-polarized 2DEG?) CaRuO 3 /CaMnO 3 (metal in contact with an antiferromagnet) SrTiO 3 /LaAlO 3 (polar heterostructure) SrTiO 3 /LaVO 3 (polar heterostructure) FM/SC interfaces, etc. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy image of a lattice-matched SrTiO 3 /LaTiO 3 superlattice, grown with pulsed laser deposition. Ref: Ohtomo et al., Nature 419, 378 (2002)
5 Epitaxial Oxides Credit: Christen, Oak Ridge National Lab, 12/2006
6 Theoretical Methods Electronic structure of solids: Interacting many-body problem Density-Functional Theory Local Density Approximation (LDA, LSDA) Generalized Gradient approximation (GGA) LDA/GGA + Hubbard U Models: Hartree-Fock, Dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) More accurate methods: exact diagonalization, Quantum Monte Carlo (Limited to small systems)
7 Density-functional Theory Key point (Kohn, Sham, Hohenberg, 1965): The ground-state energy of the interacting electrons can be found by solving a one-particle Schrödinger equation with an effective potential: H i = i i H = h2 2m 2 + V eff (x, y,z) Solution of the mean-field one-particle equations LMTO (Linear muffin-tin orbitals method) {most physical, computationally fast} LAPW (Linear augmented plane waves) {most accurate} Pseudopotential plane waves method {easiest to formulate} Different religions, same God.

35 Buridan s ass is the common name for the thought experiment which states that an entirely rational ass, placed exactly in the middle between two stacks of hay of equal size and quality, will starve since it cannot make any rational decision to start eating one rather than the other.

No. of electrons in e g level = x e g t 2g Compute canting angle by minimizing total energy: H k = ( k) ( k) ( k) ( k) (k) = 2t cos( /2) f (k) A single MnO 2 plane at the interface (k) = 2t sin( /2) f (k) f (k) = cos k x a + cos k y a
