英文摘要We employ density functional theory in combination with a correlation U correction to elucidate a complete charge transfer phenomenon between the interfacial Ti-t(2g) orbitals and Ir-t(2g) orbitals within spin-orbit-coupled (SrIrO3)(m)/(LaTiO3)(1) superlattices. This charge transfer is driven by the interfacial polarity difference and oxygen octahedral distortion. Our investigation shows that hole doping of the LaTiO3 layer or increasing the number m of SrIrO3 layers offers an effective means to modulate the charge transfer and the electron occupation within the J(eff) = 1/2 5d-bands of Ir atoms. This modulation leads to the emergence of various electronic states, including nonmagnetic band insulating (SrIrO3)(1)/(LaTiO3)(1), ferromagnetic metallic (SrIrO3)(1)/(La1-xBaxTiO3)(1), ferrimagnetic Mott insulating (SrIrO3)(2)/(LaTiO3)(1), and ferrimagnetic metallic (SrIrO3)(m)/(LaTiO3)(1) with m >= 3. Notably, we find that charge transfer and the two-dimensional electron gas phenomenon occur exclusively at the interfacial IrO2 monatomic layers of (SrIrO3)(m)/(LaTiO3)(1), regardless of the thickness of the SrIrO3 layer. This behavior sharply contrasts with the characteristics of the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 system, where the 2DEG extends across multiple unit cells. Our research provides fresh insights into the unconventional 5d electronic structures of spin-orbit-coupled iridates, particularly those with less-explored fractionally occupied mixed valence state (Ir3.3+/Ir3.7+), suggesting their potential for application in nanoscale oxide electronic devices.
