Morphology and defect structure of the CeO2(111) films grown on Ru(0001) as studied by scanning tunneling microscopy

The morphology of ceria films grown on a Ru(0 0 0 1) substrate was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy in combination with low-energy electron diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy. The preparation conditions were determined for the growth of nmthick, well-ordered CeO2(1 1 1) films covering the entire surface. The recipe has been adopted from the one suggested by Mullins et al. [D.R. Mullins, P.V. Radulovic, S.H. Overbury, Surf. Sci. 429 (1999) 186] and modified in that significantly higher oxidation tem
