Abstract: | Planar (111) and stepped (553) surfaces of single crystalline UO2 have been studied by low-energy He+ ion scattering spectroscopy, (ISS). Angular dependent ISS and comparison data from oxide-coated, polycrystalline U indicate that the outermost layer of UO2(111) is oxygen occupying, to a first approximation, the lattice position expected from a simple termination of bulk structure. A similar study of UO2(553) indicates that ledge U is covered with excess oxygen. |
