SdH oscillations with Rashba effect
A. Fête et al., New J. Phys.16, 112002 (2014).
Good fitting of the oscillations for both samples using the effective mass of 1.9me.
The same Rashba constant and g*-factor for both samples and consistent with the literature (3.4E-12eVm and 5.2 respectively).
The carrier density compares with Onsager relation, one order of magnitude lower than the carrier density extracted from the Hall effect.

Transport mobility and quantum mobility
Quantum relaxation time
Transport relaxation time
Q(θ) is the probability through a scattering angle θ.
P. T. Coleridge et al., Phys. Rev. B 39,1120(1989).
We assume that the quantum mobility of the in-plane carriers is too small for SdH oscillations.
Carriers far from the interface (dxz/dyz) :
Carriers close to the interface (dxy) :
?
Summary and perspectives
Investigate on the angle dependence of the SdH oscillations with Rashba effect. Investigate on the carrier density dependence (back-gate, top-gate, UV light) to
map the band structure of the LAOSTO interface. STO substrate with different crystalline orientation.
Carriers originate from the dxz/dyz orbitals
Carriers originate from the dxy orbitals
Heavy effective mass Lower carrier density Higher mobility Far from the LAO/STO interface,
less sensitive to scattering at the interface.
Light effective mass? higher carrier density lower mobility Close the LAO/STO interface, more
sensitive to scattering at the interface.
Hypothesis:
Rashba effect
Two-fluids model
Qualitatively consistent with the negative magnetoresistance in parallel field(M. Diez et al., PRL 115, 016803 (2015))
