abstract = {Emergent phenomena, including superconductivity and
magnetism, found in the two-dimensional electron liquid
(2-DEL) at the interface between the insulators lanthanum
aluminate (LaAlO3) and strontium titanate (SrTiO3)
distinguish this rich system from conventional 2D electron
gases at compound semiconductor interfaces. The origin of
this 2-DEL, however, is highly debated, with focus on the
role of defects in the SrTiO3, while the LaAlO3 has been
assumed perfect. Here we demonstrate, through experiments
and first-principle calculations, that the cation
stoichiometry of the nominal LaAlO3 layer is key to 2-DEL
formation: only Al-rich LaAlO3 results in a 2-DEL. Although
extrinsic defects, including oxygen deficiency, are known to
render LaAlO3/SrTiO3 samples conducting, our results show
that in the absence of such extrinsic defects an interface
2-DEL can form. Its origin is consistent with an intrinsic
electronic reconstruction occurring to counteract a
polarization catastrophe. This work provides insight for
identifying other interfaces where emergent behaviours await
discovery.},
