摘要：

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