At interfaces between complex oxides, electronic systems with unusual electronic properties can be generated. We report on superconductivity in the electron gas formed at the interface between two insulating dielectric perovskite oxides, LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. The behavior of the electron gas is that…

We fabricate micrometric constrictions in manganite epitaxial thin films by atomic force microscope local anodization. We demonstrate the possibility of realizing planar spin valve devices, exhibiting hysteretic transport behavior as a function of the external magnetic field, associated with…
