Influence of Oxygen on the Electrons May Explain Unusual Properties

In the emerging field of oxide electronics, electronic devices are based on oxide materials rather than conventional materials such as silicon. One of the most promising candidates for this application is the oxide semiconductor strontium titanate, SrTiO3. Now, researchers from RIKEN’s SPring-8 Center in Harima and their colleagues have uncovered fundamental properties of the electronic states in SrTiO3 that may be crucial to understanding the unusual electronic properties of this material.
