| Abstract | Functional oxide interfaces have received a great deal of attention owing to their intriguing physical properties induced by the interplay of lattice, orbital, charge, and spin degrees of freedom. Atomic-scale precision growth of the oxide interface opens new corridors to manipulate the correlated features in nanoelectronics devices. Here, we demonstrate that both head-to-head positively charged and tail-to-tail negatively charged BiFeO3/PbTiO3 (BFO/PTO) heterointerfaces were successfully fabricated by designing the BFO/PTO film system deliberately. Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopic mapping reveals a head-to-head polarization configuration present at the BFO/PTO interface, when the film was deposited directly on a SrTiO3 (001) substrate. The interfacial atomic structure is reconstructed, and the interfacial width is determined to be 5-6 unit cells. The polarization on both sides of the interface is remarkably enhanced. Atomic-scale structural and chemical element analyses exhibit that the reconstructed interface is rich in oxygen, which effectively compensates for the positive bound charges at the head-to-head polarized BFO/PTO interface. In contrast to the head-to-head polarization configuration, the tail-to-tail BFO/PTO interface exhibits a perfect coherency, when SrRuO3 was introduced as a buffer layer on the substrates prior to the film growth. The width of this tail-to-tail interface is estimated to be 3-4 unit cells, and oxygen vacancies are supposed to screen the negative polarization bound charge. The formation mechanism of these distinct interfaces was discussed from the perspective of charge redistribution.; Functional oxide interfaces have received a great deal of attention owing to their intriguing physical properties induced by the interplay of lattice, orbital, charge, and spin degrees of freedom.
