(a) Experimental XAS spectra at the Mn K edge for the tensile (SrTiO3) and compressive (LaAlO3) LSMO films in the plane (solid line) and perpendicular to the film plane (dotted line). The energy shifts are in opposite directions and scaled in amplitude by a factor of 2. (b) Ab initio XAS calculations considering tetragonal distortion of the MnO octahedron and for the in-plane and out-of-plane contributions. |
