AbstractWe present electrical and structural characterization of epitaxial LaTiO3/SrTiO3 quantum wells integrated directly on Si(100). The quantum wells exhibit metallic transport described by Fermi-liquid behavior. Carriers arise from both charge transfer from the LaTiO3 to SrTiO3 and oxygen vacancies in the latter. By reducing the thickness of the quantum wells, an enhancement in carrier-carrier scattering is observed, and insulating transport emerges. Consistent with a Mott-driven transition in bulk rare-earth titanates, the insulating behavior is described by activated transport, and the onset of insulating transport occurs near 1 electron per Ti occupation within the SrTiO3 well. We also discuss the role that structure and gradients in strain may play in enhancing the carrier density. The manipulation of metal-insulator behavior in oxides grown directly on Si opens the pathway to harnessing strongly correlated phenomena in device technologies.
