We have reported that SrVO3 quantum wells with a thickness of less than 3 unit cells (u.c.) become Mott insulators. In additon, these two-dimensional Mott insulators can be doped with electrons, resulting in a transition to a metallic-like phase. In this study, we investigate the phase diagrams of Sr1-xLaxVO3 quantum wells with various film thicknesses (2 to 5 u.c.) and compare them with quantum wells on different substrates to study the effect of epitaxial strain.
