摘要: The structure transformation of a TiO2(110) surface was observed at atomic-scale resolution by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). Irregular corrugations on an argon-bombarded crystallized to stacked (1 × 1) terraces vacuum annealing 600—800 K. grew in dimension be as large 30 nm2 900 unoccupied states localized individual Ti4+ ions were resolved terrace. position the probed imaging adsorbed formate ions. Annealing higher temperatures resulted formation wide row comprising double strands. Imaging used grade possible models probing Ti exposed surface; thereby, added Ti2O3 model, which is new surface-limited phase titanium oxide consisting Ti3+ optimum six-fold coordination, concluded for double-strand structure. These results demonst...
