We report the formation of a new non-magnetic Mott insulating phase (U =0.5 eV) at the isopolar interface between two insulating antiferromagnets, LaTiO3 and LaFeO3. The formation is driven by the combination of electrochemical energy, which can be described by O band alignment, and crystal field splitting energy of the t2g and eg bands. As a result of these two driving forces, the Fe 3d bands rearrange and electrons are transferred from Ti to Fe. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we find a strong electron transfer of almost 1 e−/interface unit cell. The shown route for interfacial electronic reconstruction opens possibilities to design new functional oxide heterointerfaces.
