Abstract
We report about a new reconstruction of the SrTiO 3(001) surface which exhibits a c(6 × 2) unit cell, shows remarkable long range order, covers the entire surface exclusively and is stable in O 2 and even in ambient air. It is generated by a combination of oxygen and UHV annealing and characterized by low energy electron diffraction and atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy. Two rotationally equivalent domains of this reconstruction exist on the (001) surface, which exhibits fourfold symmetry. However, the c(6 × 2) structure can be stabilized as single domain on vicinal (001) surfaces.
