Discovery of a magnetic conductive interface in PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 /SrTiO3 heterostructures

Two-dimensional electron gases that form in some complex oxide heterostructures may have useful functional behavior due to the interaction of the parent materials. Here the authors show that PZT/STO interfaces can host a spin-polarized electron gas, even though the bulk materials are nonmagnetic.
