In situ thermal preparation of oxide surfaces

Substrate surfaces terminated with a specific surface reconstruction are a prerequisite for the controlled epitaxial growth of most materials. Focusing on SrTiO3 (001) substrates, it has recently been shown that in situ substrate termination by thermal annealing has decisive advantages over standard...
