Microstructure and atomic configuration of the (001)-oriented surface of epitaxial Ni–Mn–Ga thin films
The (001)-oriented surface of epitaxial off-stoichiometric Ni–Mn–Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys was studied in both austenitic and martensitic phases. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging of the austenitic surface reveals a well-ordered and reconstruction-free surface exhibiting predominantly Mn–Ga termination. We found that only one of the two atomic species (Ga or Mn) is visible ...
متن کاملScanning tunneling microscopy studies of the Fe3O4„001... surface using antiferromagnetic probes
We have studied the ~001! surface of a Fe3O4 single crystal using low-energy electron diffraction ~LEED!, Auger electron spectroscopy ~AES! and scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM!. The STM measurements were performed using a novel tip of antiferromagnetic MnNi alloy. Atomically resolved STM images provide evidence of a surface terminated at the octahedral plane, with rows of Fe cations running ...
متن کاملInitial Nucleation of Au on the ( √ 2 × √ 2 ) R 45 ◦ Reconstructed Fe 3 O 4 ( 001 ) Surface
The initial nucleation of Au onto the ( √ 2× √ 2)R45◦ reconstructed Fe3O4(001) surface has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy. Au clusters are formed, with a typical lateral dimension of ∼ 9 Å. The measured corrugation height of the clusters, ∼ 1 Å, suggests that they are a single atomic layer in height. The clusters nucleate on a specific surface site, which lies at the centre of...

We have studied the ~001! surface of a Fe3O4 single crystal using scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM!, low-energy electron diffraction ~LEED!, and Auger electron spectroscopy. A clean surface was obtained by a combination of Ar ion sputtering, in situ annealing in O2 atmosphere, and further annealing in ultra high vacuum conditions. A sharp (A23A2)R45° reconstruction was observed by LEED and ST...
