摘要: Experimental evidence of differences in the electronic properties an insulating and a conducting SrTiO3/LaAlO3 interface is provided by soft x-ray spectroscopies. While core level photoemission measurements show that only at Ti ions with 3+ ionization state are present, using resonant absorption spectroscopies, it shown both samples in-gap states 3d character but their density higher interface.
