摘要: A series of 100 nm LaVO3 thin films have been synthesized on (001)-oriented SrTiO3 substrates using the pulsed laser deposition technique, and effects growth temperature are analyzed. Transport properties reveal a large electronic mobility non-linear Hall effect at low temperature. In addition, cross-over from semiconducting state high-temperature to metallic low-temperature is observed, with clear enhancement character as increases. Optical absorption measurements combined two-bands analysis show that metallicity induced by diffusion oxygen vacancies in substrate. These results allow understand film/substrate heterostructure behaves an original semiconducting-metallic parallel resistor, transport consistently explained.
