Abstract
We examine superconductivity in LaAlO_{3}/SrTiO_{3} channels with widths that transition from the 1D to the 2D regime. The superconducting critical current is independent of the channel width and increases approximately linearly with the number of parallel channels. Signatures of electron pairing outside of the superconducting regime are also found to be independent of the channel width. Collectively, these results indicate that superconductivity exists at the boundary of these channels and is absent within the interior region of the channels. The intrinsic 1D nature of superconductivity at the LaAlO_{3}/SrTiO_{3} interface imposes strong physical constraints on possible electron pairing mechanisms.Year: 2018 PMID: 29694119 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.147001
