olarization-controlled synchrotron radiation was used to map the electronic structure of buried conducting interfaces of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 in a resonant angle-resolved photoemission experiment. A strong polarization dependence of the Fermi surface and band dispersions is demonstrated, highlighting different Ti 3d orbitals involved in two-dimensional (2D) conduction. Measurements on samples with different doping levels reveal dif- ferent band occupancies and Fermi-surface areas. The photoemission results are directly compared with advanced first-principles calculations, carried out for different 3d-band filling levels connected with the 2D mobile carrier concentrations obtained from transport measurements, with indication of charge localization at the interface.

Abstract
olarization-controlled synchrotron radiation was used to map the electronic structure of buried conducting interfaces of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 in a resonant angle-resolved photoemission experiment. A strong polarization dependence of the Fermi surface and band dispersions is demonstrated, highlighting different Ti 3d orbitals involved in two-dimensional (2D) conduction. Measurements on samples with different doping levels reveal dif- ferent band occupancies and Fermi-surface areas. The photoemission results are directly compared with advanced first-principles calculations, carried out for different 3d-band filling levels connected with the 2D mobile carrier concentrations obtained from transport measurements, with indication of charge localization at the interface.
