Properties of LaTiO3/SrTiO3 Hall Bars Defined with a Programmable Diamond Scribe

ORAL

Abstract

Hall bars are often used to characterize the electrical and magnetic properties of 2D materials. In some instances, the surfaces are sensitive to application of photoresist, and other techniques for defining a Hall bar shape must be employed. We describe a method for programmatic scribing of microstructures that employ a sharp diamond stylus attached to a computer-controlled robotic arm. Hall bars are etched into LaTiO3/SrTiO3 (LTO/STO) heterostructures, which are subsequently characterized at cryogenic temperatures and magnetic fields.
