摘要
Temperature-dependent dielectric spectroscopy was used to observe multiple dielectric responses involving four sets of dielectric relaxations (DRs) in molecular beam epitaxy-deposited ultrathin (001) SrMnO3/Nb:SrTiO3 heterojunctions. Two sets of oxygen-vacancy (OV)-related DRs, which were sensitive to oxygen annealing, were attributed to short-range OV hopping and localized Jahn-Teller (JT)-polaron hopping-induced dipolar-type relaxations. Arising from electron-phonon coupling between e(g) electrons and JT-distortion in Mn3+ ions, the appearance of JT-polarons was closely related to the presence of oxygen vacancies, which leads to transitions from Mn4+ to Mn3+.
