English With infrared ellipsometry and transport measurements we investigated the electrons at the interface between LaAlO₃ and SrTiO₃. We obtained a sheet carrier concentration of Ns≈5–9×10¹³  cm⁻², an effective mass of m*=3.2±0.4me, and a strongly frequency dependent mobility. The latter are similar as in bulk SrTi1-xNbxO₃ and therefore suggestive of polaronic correlations. We also determined the vertical concentration profile which has a strongly asymmetric shape with a rapid initial decay over the first 2 nm and a pronounced tail that extends to about 11 nm.
