Yet, the interface is insulating. Based on first principles calculations, we attribute this unexpected result to interfacial cation mixing combined with charge redistribution within CrO2 layers, enabled by low-lying d states within LaCrO3, which suppresses an electronic reconstruction.}, keywords = {INTERFACES}, issn = {0031-9007} }
