Abstract: Depositing disordered Al on top of Sr Ti O 3 is a cheap and easy way to create a two-dimensional electron system in the Sr Ti O 3 surface layers. To facilitate future device applications, we passivate the heterostructure by a disordered La Al O 3 capping layer to study the electronic properties by complementary x-ray photoemission spectroscopy and transport measurements on the very same samples. We also tune the electronic interface properties by adjusting the oxygen pressure during film growth.
