Growth of a crystalline and ultrathin MgO film on Fe(001)
The narrow temperature-window for obtaining a crystalline MgO film on Fe(001) has been found using in-situ STM. When Mg was deposited on Fe(001) at RT, post-oxidized at 300 °C, and additionally annealed at 400 °C, an ultrathin and crystalline MgO film was formed. It has been concluded that, in order...
