Hot STM of nanostructure dynamics on SrTiO(3)(001).
The dynamics of nanostructured surface phases on SrTiO(3)(001) have been analysed using in situ scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) above 800 degrees C. During high-temperature annealing, the formation, growth and ordering of the nanostructures has been observed. Dilines, with a width of approximat...

| description | The dynamics of nanostructured surface phases on SrTiO(3)(001) have been analysed using in situ scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) above 800 degrees C. During high-temperature annealing, the formation, growth and ordering of the nanostructures has been observed. Dilines, with a width of approximately 1 nm, are formed from a TiO(2)-rich intermediary at 800 degrees C. STM during annealing at 825 degrees C has enabled us to follow both the growth and dissolution of dilines. Following extended annealing, trilines with a width of approximately 2 nm and ordered two-dimensional (2D) nano-arrays form from the diline domains. Our observations of diline dissolution implies random nucleation and growth, followed by rearrangement at elevated temperature to form domains. |
