Colossal positive magnetoresistance in surface-passivated oxygen-deficient strontium titanite by David, Adrian, Tian, Yufeng, Yang, Ping, Gao, Xingyu, Lin, Weinan, Shah, Amish B., Zuo, Jian-Min, Prellier, Wilfrid, Wu, Tom

“…Here we report colossal positive magnetoresistance (CPMR) (>30,000% at a temperature of 2 K and a magnetic field of 9 T) discovered in degenerate semiconducting strontium titanite (SrTiO3) single crystals capped with ultrathin SrTiO3/LaAlO3 bilayers. The low-pressure high-temperature homoepitaxial growth of several unit cells of SrTiO3 introduces oxygen vacancies and high-mobility carriers in the bulk SrTiO3, and the three-unit-cell LaAlO3 capping layer passivates the surface and improves carrier mobility by suppressing surface-defect-related scattering. …”
