1 XCVII Congresso Nazionale The Fe(001)-p(1x1)O surface: scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) results and related issues Lamberto Duò CNISM - Dipartimento di Fisica Politecnico di Milano

2 Oxides and thin (few nanometers) oxide films 2 Important class of materials among insulators Finite-size effects systems exhibit different properties w.r.t. bulk Intrinsic dimension smaller than a relevant length scale (e.g. thin /transparent vs thick /opaque) Surface related surface atoms have reduced coordination (e.g. different binding energy surface core-level shift) Chemical & Structural differences between bulk and surface (e.g. surface segregation, relaxation, reconstruction) Most studied 3d Transition Metal Oxide (TMO) thin films

3 Motivations 3 (2011) Understand & control the physics of TMO thin films advances in e.g. nanoelectronics, heterogeneous catalysis and high density magnetic data storage Microscopic morphology by STM

4 How to make TMO thin films 4 Exposing a Transition Metal to O 2 atmosphere (undefined stoichiometry & thickness, unhomogeneities, only TMO/TM) Mid 90s: Reactive deposition single crystal TMO thin films TM evaporation on a monocrystalline substrate in gas (O 2 ) atmosphere Proper choice of substrate & its surface, TM, gas, growth conditions (temperature, pressure, evaporation rate, time), after growth treatments Noble metals Ag(001) MnO(001), CoO(001), NiO(001) Au(111) NiO(111) Near noble Pd(001) CoO(001), NiO(001) Pt(111) MnO(111), FeO(111) metals Transition Fe(001) CoO(001), NiO(001) Rh(001) MnO(001) metals Ir(001) CoO(111) Insulators MgO(001) CoO(001), NiO(001) ( for spectroscopy and STM) Metal substrate more reactive than the TM used for TMO film??

It takes four quantum numbers to describe an electron. Additionally, every electron has a unique set of quantum numbers. So, quantum mechanics does not define the path that the electron follows; rather, quantum mechanics works by determining the energy of the electron. Once the energy of an electron is known, the probability
