Encapsulated Pd crystals on anatase supports: high precision determination of the titanate overlayer moiré structure

Palladium (Pd) crystal islands, with 100–200 nm wide (111) top facets, were grown in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) on an anatase (001) film supported on a SrTiO3(001) substrate. Annealing the crystals at > 600 °C causes encapsulation by a TiOx monolayer due to the strong metal–support interaction (SMSI)...
