Electron-phonon coupling for the 2D electron gas at EuO/KTaO3(001) studied by HREELS — •Hannes Herrmann, Anne Oelschäger, and Wolf Widdra — Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Institute of Physics, 06120 Halle, Germany
Recent studies at the KTaO3(111) surface revealed a 2D electron gas (2DEG) with much higher charge carrier density than in SrTiO3-based heterostructures [1]. Similar 2DEGs with lower charge carrier densities could be obtained on the (011) and (001) surfaces [2].
In this work, we study surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) and their coupling to a 2DEG with high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). By evaporating Eu on top of KTaO3(001), a 2DEG is initiated resulting in a pronounced asymmetric SPP line shape and extreme broadening compared to the phonons of the clean surface. The line shape will be analysed in terms of a strong coupling of the SPP with the 2DEG. The response can be described by a two-layer model with a 2D Drude-like response with frequency-dependent electronic mobility on top of a bulk-like KTaO3.
