Complex oxide interfaces are more complex than previously thought

Using experimental resources at EMSL, scientists from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and University College London have shown that intermixing occurs at the interface of two perovskites – lanthanum aluminate and strontium titanate – for a range of compositions. Intermixing is of interest because this interface is conductive when prepared under certain conditions, and atom positions at the interface influence the electronic structure.
