摘要
We have studied the electronic structure at the heterointerface between the band insulators LaAlO(3) and SrTiO(3) using in situ photoemission spectroscopy. Our experimental results clearly reveal the formation of a notched structure on the SrTiO(3) side due to band bending at the metallic LaAlO(3)/TiO(2)-SrTiO(3) interface. The structure, however, is absent at the insulating LaAlO(3)/SrO-SrTiO(3) interface. The present results indicate that the metallic states originate not from the charge transfer through the interface on a short-range scale but from the accumulation of carriers on a long-range scale.
