3D electron densities reconstructed by COBRA at 30 K. Three-dimensional electron densities for a CaTiO3/NdGaO3, b CaTiO3/DyScO3, c CaTIO3/LSAT at 30 K reconstructed by coherent Bragg rods analysis (COBRA). Polarizations projections on ac and bc planes are displayed on corresponding faces. Oxygen octahedra tilts evolution, α, β, and γ, are magnified by 5 times and displayed by red, green, and blue pie charts along each edge of electron densities. One of the four equivalent CaTiO3 domains on LSAT are plotted for convenience of comparison. Two-dimensional slices of d ac, e bc, and f ab planes for CaTiO3/NdGaO3 and the corresponding plots g, h, i, for CaTiO3/LSAT are shown, respectively. The interconnected oxygen networks are sketched by black squares, which tends to clamp the in-plane tilts (α and β) in CaTiO3 through interface. While, the γ tilt in CaTiO3 is unaffected
