Spin-doping effect on the electronic structure of Sr1−(x+y)Lax+yTi1−xCrxO3

► Investigation of spin-doping (x) effects on the electronic structure of Sr0.8-xLa0.2+xTi1-xCrxO3 using photoemission spectroscopy and band structure calculations. ► The Cr 3d peak intensity increases with increasing x, more rapidly than the band-theory prediction. ► Strong Ti/Cr potential disorder causes a significant suppression of the near-Fermi level weight with x.
