  1. Electron and hole effective masses (meff) at La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) surface and at the PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 interface, PZT|LSMO deduced with Eq.(2) from the Fermi velocities obtained in turn by a linear fit of the band dispersions in the kink region. The dimensionless coupling constant α2D,3D, estimates the EPI strength for the two-dimensional (2D) hole and three-dimensional (3D) electron Frohlich polarons. The errors express the standard deviation and are obtained from the individual linear fit of each kink region.
