Reversible metal-insulator transition in SrIrO3 ultrathin layers by field effect control of inversion symmetry breaking

Abstract SrIrO3 is a correlated semimetal with narrow t2g d-bands of strong mixed orbital character resulting from the interplay of the spin-orbit interaction due to heavy iridium atoms and the band folding induced by the lattice structure. In ultrathin layers, inversion symmetry breaking, occurring...
