英文摘要: Perovskite oxides, with relatively simple lattice structures, possess remarkable properties. On their surfaces or interfaces, even more exotic quantum phenomena emerge. Especially on the (111) surfaces with hexagonal symmetry, topological nontrivial electronic states may exist. And the (111) single-unit-cell superlattices form the double-perovskite functional artificial materials. To realize their applications in novel electronic devices, a series of fundamental physics problems must be solved. Take the advantage of surface physics on the investigations of the surface/interface microstructures, we will study the surface reconstructions and their adsorption properties. Furthermore we will understand the effect of external chemical potential on the epitaxial growth dynamics and kinetics, aiming to achieve the atomic precision of preparation control in both the perpendicular and in-plane directions. Combining with theoretical analyses, high-resolution characterizations and measurements will be carried out for the clarification of the origin of the electronic properties. The goal is to reveal the control methods and mechanisms of the quantum phenomena on perovskite oxide (111) surfaces and interfaces.
