Abstract

SrVO₃/SrTiO₃ superlattices were successfully grown on SrTiO₃(001) substrates by laser molecular beam epitaxy. By varying thicknesses of metallic SrVO₃ and insulating SrTiO₃ sublayers, we could observe an interesting metal-insulator transition in the superlattices. The systematic study of electrical transport properties of the superlattices revealed interlayer coupling between SrVO₃ sublayers through two unit cells of SrTiO₃ sublayers. Although the dead layer was about 10 unit cells in SrVO₃ films, the superlattices with much thinner SrVO₃ sublayers became metallic.
