Recent experiments have shown that transition metal oxide heterostructures such as SrTiO$_3$-based interfaces, exhibit large, gate tunable, spintronic responses. Our theoretical study showcases key factors controlling the magnitude of the conversion, measured by the inverse Edelstein and Spin Hall effects, and their evolution with respect to an electrostatic doping. The origin of the response can be linked to spin-orbital textures. These stem from the broken inversion symmetry at the interface which produces an unusual form of the interfacial spin-orbit coupling, provided a bulk atomic spin-orbit contribution is present. The amplitudes and variations of these observables are direct consequences of the multi-orbital subband structure of these materials, featuring avoided and topological crossings. Interband contributions to the coefficients lead to enhanced responses and non-monotonic evolution with doping. We highlight these effects using analytical approaches and low energy modeling.

We have studied the electronic properties of the 2D electron liquid present at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface in series of samples prepared at different growth temperatures. We observe that interfaces fabricated at 650{deg}C exhibit the highest lo
w temperature mobility ($approx 10000 textrm{ cm}^2/textrm{Vs}$) and the lowest sheet carrier density ($approx 5times 10^{12} textrm{ cm}^{-2}$). These samples show metallic behavior and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in their magnetoresistance. Samples grown at higher temperatures (800-900{deg}C) display carrier densities in the range of $approx 2-5 times 10^{13} textrm{ cm}^{-2}$ and mobilities of $approx 1000 textrm{ cm}^2/textrm{Vs}$ at 4K. Reducing their carrier density by field effect to $8times 10^{12} textrm{ cm}^{-2}$ lowers their mobilites to $approx 50 textrm{ cm}^2/textrm{Vs}$ bringing the conductance to the weak-localization regime.
We investigate the magnetotransport properties of a two-dimensional electron gas with anisotropic k-cubic Rashba interaction at the $rm{LaAlO_3}$/$rm{SrTiO_3}$ interface. The Landau levels and density of states of the system as well as the magnetotra
nsport coefficients are evaluated. A somehow anomalous beating pattern in low magnetic field regime is found both in the density profile and magnetoresistivity. We discuss the impact of electron density, Landau level broadening and Rashba spin-orbit constant on the appearance of the beatings in low magnetic fields and find that at low electron concentrations and not very strong spin-orbit interactions the beatings smooth out. On the other hand, as the magnetic field increases, the Zeeman term becomes the dominant splitting mechanism leading to the spin-split peaks in SdH oscillations. We also show that the observation of the beatings in low magnetic fields needs a system with rather higher carrier concentration so that the beatings persist up to sufficiently large fields where the oscillations are not smoothed out by Landau level broadening. The quantum Hall plateaus are evaluated and we show the Chern number with both even and odd values is replaced by the odd numbers when two subband energies are close with spin degenerate energy levels. Along with the numerical evaluation of the magnetotransport properties, a perturbative calculation is also performed which can be used in the case of low densities and not very large filling factors.
The paradigm of electrons interacting with a periodic lattice potential is central to solid-state physics. Semiconductor heterostructures and ultracold neutral atomic lattices capture many of the essential properties of 1D electronic systems. However
, fully one-dimensional superlattices are highly challenging to fabricate in the solid state due to the inherently small length scales involved. Conductive atomic-force microscope (c-AFM) lithography has recently been demonstrated to create ballistic few-mode electron waveguides with highly quantized conductance and strongly attractive electron-electron interactions. Here we show that artificial Kronig-Penney-like superlattice potentials can be imposed on such waveguides, introducing a new superlattice spacing that can be made comparable to the mean separation between electrons. The imposed superlattice potential fractures the electronic subbands into a manifold of new subbands with magnetically-tunable fractional conductance (in units of $e^2/h$). The lowest $G=2e^2/h$ plateau, associated with ballistic transport of spin-singlet electron pairs, is stable against de-pairing up to the highest magnetic fields explored ($|B|=16$ T). A 1D model of the system suggests that an engineered spin-orbit interaction in the superlattice contributes to the enhanced pairing observed in the devices. These findings represent an important advance in the ability to design new families of quantum materials with emergent properties, and mark a milestone in the development of a solid-state 1D quantum simulation platform.
We have investigated the illumination effect on the magnetotransport properties of a two-dimensional electron system at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface. The illumination significantly reduces the zero-field sheet resistance, eliminates the Kondo ef
fect at low-temperature, and switches the negative magnetoresistance into the positive one. A large increase in the density of high-mobility carriers after illumination leads to quantum oscillations in the magnetoresistance originating from the Landau quantization. The carrier density ($sim 2 times 10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$) and effective mass ($sim 1.7 ~m_e$) estimated from the oscillations suggest that the high-mobility electrons occupy the d$_{xz/yz}$ subbands of Ti:t$_{2g}$ orbital extending deep within the conducting sheet of SrTiO$_3$. Our results demonstrate that the illumination which induces additional carriers at the interface can pave the way to control the Kondo-like scattering and study the quantum transport in the complex oxide heterostructures.
We investigated the effect of the tensile strain on the spin splitting at the n-type interface in LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ in terms of the spin-orbit coupling coefficient $alpha$ and spin texture in the momentum space using first-principles calculations.
We found that the $alpha$ could be controlled by the tensile strain and be enhanced up to 5 times for the tensile strain of 7%, and the effect of the tensile strain leads to a persistent spin helix, which has a long spin lifetime. These results support that the strain effect on LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ is important for various applications such as spinFET and spin-to-charge conversion.
