Infrared ellipsometry study of photogenerated charge carriers at the (001) and (110) surfaces of $\mathrm{SrTi}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ crystals and at the interface of the corresponding $\mathrm{LaAl}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}/\mathrm{SrTi}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ heterostructures

With infrared (IR) ellipsometry and dc resistance measurements, we investigated the photodoping at the (001) and (110) surfaces of SrTiO3 (STO) single crystals and at the corresponding interfaces of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) heterostructures. In the bare STO crystals, we find that the photogenerated charge carriers, which accumulate near the (001) surface, have a similar depth profile and sheet...
