Charge-transfer phenomena at heterointerfaces are a promising pathway to engineer functionalities absent in the bulk material but can also lead to degraded properties in the ultrathin films. Mitigating such undesired effects with an interlayer reshapes the interface architecture, restricting its operability. Therefore, developing less-invasive methods to control the charge transfer would be beneficial. Here, an appropriate top-interface design allows for remotely manipulating the charge configuration of the buried interface and concurrently restoring the ferromagnetic trait of the whole film. Double-perovskite insulating ferromagnetic La2 NiMnO6 (LNMO) thin films grown on perovskite oxide substrates are investigated as a model system. An oxygen-vacancy-assisted electronic reconstruction takes place initially at the LNMO polar interfaces. As a result, the magnetic properties of 2-5 unit cells LNMO films are affected beyond dimensionality effects. The introduction of a top electron-acceptor layer redistributes the electron excess and restores the ferromagnetic properties of the ultrathin LNMO films. Such a strategy can be extended to other interfaces and provides an advanced approach to fine tune the electronic features of complex multi-layered heterostructures.
