Metallic Interfaces between Insulators LaTiO3 layers (bright) of varying thickness spaced by 5 layers of SrTiO3
LaTiO3 La 3+ one more e Ti 3+ Mott insulator A=0.397nm SrTiO3 Sr 2+ Ti 4+ Band insulator A=0.391nm
Charge leakage the Ti3+ signal is considerably wider than that of the La “Ti3+”~extra electron The ‘tail’ of Ti3+ have a decay length of 1nm as an order of screening length!
Metallic Structure Fraction of Ti3+ is a function of the number of LaTiO3 unit cells. Conductivity is a function of the thickness of LaTi3 and SrTi3
CMR Colossal magnetoresistance

Double-exchange mechanism Ca 2+ cause electron free to move.
