摘要
Valence switching at Eu-Si interfaces is demonstrated by resonant photoemission during repeated oxidation-reduction cycles performed by room-temperature O2 exposure and mild heating. The Eu2+ <--> Eu3+ transitions are accompanied by Fermi level switching associated with changes in the stoichiometry of the surface heterostructure. The ability to cycle between two well-defined magnetic states at a surface may be attractive in technological applications.
