In particular, the mechanism of charge transfer at interfaces under irradiation is challenging. Herein, the photoinduced properties of manganite-buffered LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces with different thicknesses of the buffer layer are systematically investigated. The giant photoresponse is observed, and its relative change in resistance is about 6.24 × 106% at T = 20 K for the sample with a buffer layer thickness of 4.8 nm. Moreover, the transition temperature is enhanced by increasing the thickness of the buffer layer. More importantly, the dead layer effect at the interfaces has been suppressed by using light. All these results are attributed to the charge transfer because of the octahedral tilting at low temperatures and provide a new kind of oxide-based optical devices, such as ultraviolet detectors. This piece of work will pave the way toward two-dimensional electron gas-based optoelectronic devices.en1944-8244202091119711203American Chemical Societybuffer layercomplex oxidesdead layer effectgiant photoresponseoctahedral tiltingChemistryEngineering and Applied OperationsJournal Article10.1021/acsami.9b22162Journal Article
