Popis: Novel low dimensional quantum phenomena are expected at (110) LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) interfaces after the quasi two dimensional electron gas similar to that of (001) LAO/STO interfaces was found [G. Herranz et al., Sci. Rep. 2, 758 (2012) and A. Annadi et al., Nat. Commun. 4, 1838 (2013)]. Here, two dimensional superconductivity of (110) LAO/STO samples with a superconducting transition temperature of 184 mK is demonstrated based on systematical transport measurements. The two dimensional characteristic of the superconductivity is confirmed by analyzing the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. The estimated superconductive thickness is about 18 nm. These features of superconductivity of (110) LAO/STO interfaces are comparable to those of (001) LAO/STO interfaces. This discovery may inspire a new round of upsurge on study of LAO/STO interfaces.
