The (2×2) reconstructions on the SrTiO3 (001) surface: A combined scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory study

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy of Surface Structures

Surface science got a new impact with the development of the seanning tunneling microscope, since for the first time atomic-resolution observations of surface structures in real space have becomepossible. Following ashort description of the basic features of the seanning tunneling microscopy, some selected results are presented which illustrate the potential of the technique to provide informat...

Reflection high-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy study of InP„001... surface reconstructions

The reconstructions of the InP~001! surface prepared by molecular beam epitaxy have been studied with in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction ~RHEED! and scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM!. The growth chamber contains a highly accurate temperature measurement system and uses a solid-source, cracked phosphorus, valved effusion cell. Five InP~001! reconstructions are observed with RH...

Scanning tunneling microscopy investigation of the TiO2 anatase „101... surface

We report the first scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! study of single-crystalline anatase. Atomically resolved images of the ~101! surface are consistent with a bulk-truncated (131) termination. Step edges run predominantly in the @010#, @ 1̄11# , and @ 1̄ 1̄1# directions. The surface is stable with very few point defects. Fourfold-coordinated Ti atoms at step edges are preferred adsorption site...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy of the GaN(000 ) Surface

In-situ scanning tunneling microscopy studies have been performed on the GaN(000 ) surface. Four dominant reconstructions have been observed: 1×1, 3×3, 6×6, and c(6×12). The 1×1 structure is formed by annealing the as-grown GaN surface to desorb excess Ga atoms. The higher order reconstructions are formed by depositing sub-monolayer quantities of Ga atoms onto this 1×1 surface. STM images showi...
