An atomically controlled insulator-to-metal transition in iridate/manganite heterostructures by Enyang Men, Deyang Li, Haiyang Zhang, Jingxin Chen, Zhihan Qiao, Long Wei, Zhaosheng Wang, Chuanying Xi, Dongsheng Song, Yuhan Li, Hyoungjeen Jeen, Kai Chen, Hong Zhu, Lin Hao

“…The simultaneous enhancements of magnetization, electric conductivity, and magnetoresistance effect indicate a percolation-type nature of the insulator-to-metal transition, with the percolation threshold can be reached at an exceptionally low volume fraction of the iridate. Such a drastic transition is induced by an interfacial charge transfer, which interestingly alters the electronic and crystalline structures of the bulk region rather than the limited ultrathin interface. …”
