Surface Photovoltage Spectroscopy for the Investigation of Perovskite Oxide Interfaces
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
In the present study, we comparatively investigate the distribution of electronic interface states of three different perovskite oxide interfaces, formed by epitaxial thin films of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO), La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO), and La0.7Ce0.3MnO3 (LCeMO) on SrTiO3(100) substrates, in the as-prepared state as well as after an annealing procedure. We find that annealing significantly reduces the number and density of interface trap states. Two different experimental realizations of the surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) technique were employed: an approach based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), as well as a capacitive method. The advantages and limitations of both methods are critically discussed.
