摘要
A combination of spectroscopic probes was used to develop a detailed experimental description of the transport and magnetic properties of superlattices composed of the paramagnetic metal CaRuO3 and the antiferromagnetic insulator CaMnO3. The charge-carrier density and Ru valence state in the superlattices are not significantly different from those of bulk CaRuO3. The small charge transfer across the interface implied by these observations confirms predictions derived from density-functional calculations. However, a ferromagnetic polarization due to canted Mn spins penetrates 3-4 unit cells into CaMnO3, far exceeding the corresponding predictions. The discrepancy may indicate the formation of magnetic polarons at the interface.
