Abstract: | Surface structures of rutile TiO(2) (011) are determined by a combination of noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and density functional calculations. The surface exhibits rowlike (n x 1) structures running along the [01] direction. Microfaceting missing-row structural models can explain the experimental results very well. Calculated images for NC-AFM and STM are in good agreement with the experimental results. A decrease of the density of dangling bonds stabilizes the surface energy, which results in the microfaceting missing-row reconstructions. |
