Key challenges remain for achieving interfacial electron mobilities much beyond the current value of approximately 1000 cm2V-1s-1 (at low temperatures) [2]. Here, we create a new type of 2DEG at the heterointerface between SrTiO3 and a spinel γ-Al2O3 epitaxial film with compatible oxygen ions sublattices. Electron mobilities more than one order of magnitude higher than those of hitherto investigated perovskite-type interfaces are obtained. Particularly, electron Hall mobilities as large as 1.4×105 cm2V-1s-1 and ns as high as 3.7×1014 cm-2 at 2 K is obtained at this  spinel/perovskite complex oxide interface [2]. The spinel/perovskite 2DEG, where the two-dimensional conduction character is revealed by quantum magnetoresistance oscillations, is found to result from interface-stabilized oxygen vacancies confined within a layer of 0.9 nm in proximity to the interface. Our findings pave the way for studies of mesoscopic physics with complex oxides and design of high-mobility all-oxide electronic devices. Reference: 1. A. Ohtomo & H. Y.
