Epitaxial antiperovskite/perovskite heterostructures for materials design.

ABSTRACT: Engineered heterostructures formed by complex oxide materials are a rich source of emergent phenomena and technological applications. In the quest for new functionality, a vastly unexplored avenue is interfacing oxide perovskites with materials having dissimilar crystallochemical properties. Here, we propose a unique class of heterointerfaces based on nitride antiperovskite and oxide perovskite materials as a previously unidentified direction for materials design. We demonstrate the fabrication of atomically sharp interfaces between nitride antiperovskite Mn₃GaN and oxide perovskites (La_0.3Sr_0.7)(Al_0.65Ta_0.35)O₃ and SrTiO₃. Using atomic-resolution imaging/spectroscopic techniques and first-principles calculations,
