| Popis: | Oxide two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) promise high charge carrier concentrations and low-loss electronic transport in semiconductors such as BaSnO$_{3}$ (BSO). ACBN0 computations for BSO/SrNbO$_{3}$ (SNO) interfaces show Nb-4$\textit{d}$ electron injection into extended Sn-5$\textit{s}$ electronic states. The conduction band minimum consists of Sn-5$\textit{s}$ states ~1.2 eV below the Fermi level for intermediate thickness 6-unit cell BSO/6-unit cell SNO superlattices, corresponding to an electron density in BSO of ~10$^{21}$ cm$^{-3}$. Experimental studies of analogous SNO/BSO interfaces grown by molecular beam epitaxy confirm significant charge transfer from SNO to BSO. $\textit {In situ}$ angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies show an electron density of ~4 $\times$ 10$^{21}$ cm$^{-3}$. The consistency of theory and experiment shows that BSO/SNO interfaces provide a novel materials platform for low loss electron transport in 2DEGs. Comment: There are 7 Figures, 1 Table and 10 pages |
