A full understanding of the mechanism of the formation of a two‐dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the interface between insulating LaAlO 3 (LAO) thin films and bulk SrTiO 3 (STO) crystals is a prerequisite for the full exploitation of this class of materials. Here, by using a combination of advanced X‐ray synchrotron‐based spectroscopic and structural measurements, it is shown that a structural and electronic reconstruction of the interface occurs before the realization of the 2DEG.
