摘要

The atomic and electronic properties of the Cs/SrTiO_3 heterostructure are investigated using density functional theory. Our results suggest that an antiferrodistortive (AFD) or a ferroelectric (FE) like distortion could be induced in SrTiO_3 (STO) by a Cs layer, depending on the interface bonding geometry between the metal and the oxide. Furthermore, while the AFD distortion extends throughout the STO region, the FE-like distortion decays within two layers of STO. Independent of the interface geometry, we find a large e_g orbital splitting (orbital order) around the interface, leading to an e_g-based two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) confined within the two layers of STO, which is fundamentally different from the conventional t_(2g)-based 2DEG in this material. This unique feature can be understood in terms of the local orbital mixing at the interface. We discuss the relation between the orbital order and structural distortion.
