Similar to SrTiO3 (STO) recent research has shown that KTaO3 (KTO) may also harbor a 2DEG at interfaces with several oxide materials. Due to the presence of Ta (5d element), it is expected that the Rashba spin-orbit coupling in KTO 2DEGs should be larger than in STO 2DEGs. Further, (110) and (111)-oriented KTO 2DEG show superconductivity at temperature a factor of ca. 10 higher than in STO 2DEGs. In this talk we will show that 2DEGs can be generated by the simple deposition of Al metal on KTO single crystals. We will report their electronic band structure by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, evidencing a peculiar Rashba splitting. We will show that this Rashba state can be harnessed to achieve very efficient spin-charge interconversion. Finally, we will present microwave impedance spectroscopy measurements of the superconducting condensate and discuss the nature of superconductivity in these systems.
