Abstract
Ferromagnetism and superconductivity are, in most cases, adverse. However, recent experiments reveal that they coexist at interfaces of LaAlO(3) and SrTiO(3). We analyze the magnetic state within density functional theory and provide evidence that magnetism is not an intrinsic property of the two-dimensional electron liquid at the interface. We demonstrate that the robust ferromagnetic state is induced by the oxygen vacancies in SrTiO(3) or in the LaAlO(3) layer. This allows for the notion that areas with increased density of oxygen vacancies produce ferromagnetic puddles and account for the previous observation of a superparamagnetic behavior in the superconducting state.
