Surface structure and bonding in the strongly correlated metal oxides NiO and UO2

We show atomic resolution elevated temperature scanning tunneling microscope images of the NiO (001) and UO2 (111) surfaces. When imaging the empty states structure of NiO, a fourfold symmetric hole state is observed around defects and step edges which influences the second nearest neighbor Ni ions....
