Here, we report a study of SrRuO 3 and La 0.7Sr 0.3MnO 3 interfaces using a combination of quantitative aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy, electron energy-loss spectroscopy, and density functional calculations. Cation displacements are observed at the interface, indicative of a dipolelike electric field even though both materials are nominally metallic. The observed displacements are reproduced by theory if O vacancies are present in the near-interface La 0.7Sr 0.3MnO 3 layers. The results suggest that atomic-scale structural mapping can serve as a quantitative indicator of the presence of O vacancies at interfaces. © 2012 American Physical Society.}, year = {2012}, journal = {Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics}, volume = {86}, number = {14}, issn = {10980121}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.86.140102}, note = {cited By 38}, language = {eng}, }
