Abstract
Doping the distorted-perovskite Mott insulators LaTiO3 and GdTiO3 with a single SrO layer along the [001] direction gives rise to a rich correlated electronic structure. A realistic superlattice study by means of the charge self-consistent combination of density functional theory with dynamical mean-field theory reveals layer- and temperature-dependent multi-orbital metal-insulator transitions. An orbital-selective metallic layer at the interface dissolves via an orbital-polarized doped-Mott state into an orbital-ordered insulating regime beyond the two conducting TiO2 layers. We find large differences in the scattering behavior within the latter. Breaking the spin symmetry in δ-doped GdTiO3 results in blocks of ferromagnetic itinerant and ferromagnetic Mott-insulating layers that are coupled antiferromagnetically.
