2018 Reports on progress in physics (Print)  
This review provides a summary of the rich physics expressed within SrTiO_3-based heterostructures and nanostructures. The intended audience is researchers who are working in the field of oxides, but also those with different backgrounds (e.g., semiconductor nanostructures). After reviewing the relevant properties of SrTiO_3 itself, we will then discuss the basics of SrTiO_3-based heterostructures, how they can be grown, and how devices are typically fabricated. Next, we will cover the physics
