Abstract

Novel electronic and magnetic phases are being observed at interfaces between insulating, non-magnetic oxide compounds, with the most notable example being the interface between SrTiO3 and LaAlO3. The basic properties of these interfaces will be discussed, as well as prospects for applications and possible future developments.
