Here, we have investigated La Sr MnO (LSMO) samples with varying underlying unit cells (uc) of BaTiO (BTO) layer on (001) and (110) oriented substrates in order to elucidate the role of symmetry mismatch. Lattice mismatch for 3 uc of BTO and symmetry mismatch for 10 uc of BTO, both associated with local MnO octahedral distortions of the (001) LSMO within the first few uc, are revealed by scanning transmission electron microscopy.
