Abstract

Heterostructure interface plays an important role in modern microelectronics, which could be effectively used to control various electronic and magnetic properties by tuning the atomic structure and chemical composition of the interfaces. The interface also creates new and unexpected phenomena produced by the strong interaction among the electrons. Heterostructure interfaces consisting of superconducting and ferromagnetic manganese oxide attract much attention recently [1–3]. Generally, a chemically pure and atomically sharp interface is needed for achieving particular properties. However, to visualize the atomic structure of interface consisting of light and strong scatters with high precision in detail is only possible by applying spherical-aberration correction techniques [4–5].
