The 2D electron gas that arises at the LaAlO 3 /SrTiO 3 interface is notable for two main reasons. First, it has very high carrier concentration, on the order of 10 cm. Second, if the polar gating hypothesis is true, the 2D electron gas has the potential to be totally free of disorder, unlike other 2D electron gases that require doping or gating to form. However, so far researchers have been unable to synthesize interfaces that realize the promise of low disorder.
