Gate tunable anomalous Hall effect at (111) LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface

We present the theoretical prediction of a gate tunable anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in an oxide interface as a hallmark of spin-orbit coupling. The observed AHE at low-temperatures in the presence of an external magnetic field emerges from a complex structure of the Berry curvature of the electrons on the Fermi surface and strongly depends on the orbital character of the occupied bands. A detailed picture of the results comes from a multiband low-energy model with a generalized Rashba interaction that supports characteristic out-of-plane spin and orbital textures. We discuss strategies for optimizing the intrinsic AHE in (111) SrTiO$_3$ heterostructure interfaces.Comment: 16 pages, 11 figures, submitte
