Interface*

We examine superconductivity in LaAlO₃/SrTiO₃ channels in which the channel width transitions from the 1D to 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 phase are also independent of channel width. Collectively, these results indicate that electron pairing and superconductivity exist at the boundary of these channels and are absent within the interior region of the channels. The intrinsic 1D nature of superconductivity at the LaAlO₃/SrTiO₃ interface imposes strong physical constraints on possible electron pairing mechanisms.
