Fig. 4: Resonant x-ray reflectivity results.

a XAS spectra for σ+ and σ− helicity and corresponding XMCD in TEY mode at the Mn L-edge at 12 K. b Temperature-dependent dichroic X-ray reflectivity (Ip-Im) energy scans across the Mn L-edge. c X-ray reflectivity energy scan for σ+ and σ− helicity across the Ti L-edge at 12 K. d Temperature-dependent dichroic X-ray reflectivity energy scans across the Ti L-edge. e Schematic energy level diagrams of the orbital hybridization proposed for FM and AFM spin‒spin coupling between Ti and Mn with preferentially occupied Mn 3d–eg orbitals and relative occupancies of the Ti 3d-xz,yz orbitals at the electron‒doped titanate and a manganite interface in LSMO/STO heterostructure58,63.
