Thin Oxide Films on Metal Supports
Preparation of Oxide Films on Metal Supports
- Developing preparation schemes for numerous ionic and covalently bound oxides of 1-100 monolayer thickness
- Tailoring film quality and intrinsic properties via
- Crystallographic nature of supporting metal surface
- Growth conditions, for instance the oxygen chemical potential
- Film thickness
- Insertion of dopants and impurities
- Exploring surface morphology, electronic properties and defect structure (point and line defects) of the oxide films by STM
Simple Oxides
Transition and Rare-Earth Metal Oxides
