abstract = {We discuss electronic and ionic defect concentration
profiles at the conducting interface between the two
wide-band-gap insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 (STO). The
profiles are deduced from a thermodynamic model considering
a local space charge layer (SCL) originating from charge
transfer to the interface region, thus combining electronic
and ionic reconstruction mechanisms. We show that the
electrical potential confining the two-dimensional electron
gas (2DEG) at the interface modifies the equilibrium defect
concentrations in the SCL. For the n-conducting interface,
positively charged oxygen vacancies are depleted within the
SCL, while negatively charged strontium vacancies
accumulate. Charge compensation within the SCL is achieved
by a mixed ionic-electronic interface reconstruction, while
the competition between 2DEG and localized ionic defects is
controlled by ambient pO2. The concentration of strontium
vacancies increases drastically in oxidizing conditions and
exhibits a steep depth profile towards the interface.
Accounting for the low cation diffusivity in STO, we also
discuss kinetic limitations of cation defect formation and
the effect of a partial equilibration of the cation
sublattice. We discuss the resulting implications for low
temperature transport},
