Self-limited oxygen exchange kinetics at SnO2 surfaces.

The oxygen exchange at SnO(2) surfaces strongly depends on surface termination, which is affected by the oxygen chemical potential. At low oxygen chemical potential, the surface adopts its reduced termination which allows oxygen exchange, while exchange is suppressed by the stoichiometric surface termination.
