Nanoscale control of an interfacial metal–insulator transition at room temperature
Abstract
A highly conductive channel, a few nanometres wide, can be reversibly created by an AFM tip operating at room temperature at the interface between two oxide insulators. This discovery could provide a powerful method for the design and realization of electronic circuits at the nanoscale.
