The electronic structure of SrTiO3(001) surfaces was studied using scanning tunneling spectroscopy and density-functional theory. With high dynamic range measurements, an in-gap transition level was observed on SrO-terminated surfaces, at…
Surfaces of homoepitaxially grown TiO2-terminated SrTiO3(001) were studied in situ with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. By controlling the Ti/Sr ratio, two-dimensional domains of highly ordered linear nanostructures,…
The local electronic structure of the SrO-terminated SrTiO3(001) surface was explored using scanning tunneling microscopy. At low bias voltages in the empty states, a unidirectional structure with a periodicity of 3 unit cells, superimposed…
We present first-principles total-energy calculations of (001) surfaces of SrTiO3. Both SrO-terminated and TiO2-terminated surfaces are considered, and the results are compared with previous calculations for BaTiO3 surfaces. The major…
The (001)SrTiO3 crystal surface can be engineered to display a self-organized pattern of well-separated and nearly pure single-terminated SrO and TiO2 regions by high temperature annealing in oxidizing atmosphere. By using surface sensitive…
Using cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy on in situ fractured SrTiO$_{3}$, one of the most commonly used substrates for the growth of complex oxide thin films and superlattices, atomically smooth terraces have been observed on…
The electronic and atomic structure of several $(1\times 1)$ terminations of the (110) polar orientation of SrTiO$_3$ surface are systematically studied by first-principles calculations. The electronic structure of the two stoichiometric…
CO2 chemisorption on SrTiO3(001) surfaces is studied using ab initio calculations in order to establish new chemical sensing mechanisms. We find that CO2 adsorption opens the material band gap, however, while the adsorption on the…
Recently, it was established that a two-dimensional electron system can arise at the interface between two oxide insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. This paradigmatic example exhibits metallic behaviour and magnetic properties between…
The surface termination of the promising topological insulator TlBiSe$_{2}$ has been studied by surface and bulk sensitive probes. Our scanning tunneling microscopy has unmasked for the first time the unusual surface morphology of…
The surfaces of perovskite oxides affect their functional properties, and while a bulk-truncated (1$\times$1) termination is generally assumed, its existence and stability is controversial. Here, such a surface is created by cleaving the…
We investigate the surface electronic structure and thermodynamic stability of the SrTiO3 (111) slabs using density functional theory. We observe that, for Ti-terminated slabs it is indeed possible to create a two-dimensional electron gas…
A wealth of intriguing properties emerge in the seemingly simple system composed of the band insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 such as a two-dimensional electron gas, superconductivity and magnetism. In this paper we review the current insight…
Perovskite oxides attract increasing attention due to their broad potential in many applications. Understanding their surfaces is challenging, though, because the ternary composition of the bulk allows for multiple stable surface…
We present self-consistent ab-initio total-energy and electronic-structure calculations on stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric TiO2 (110) surfaces. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) topographs are simulated by calculating the local…
We present the results of calculations of surface relaxations, energetics, and bonding properties for CaTiO3 (001) and (011) surfaces using a hybrid B3PW description of exchange and correlation. We consider both CaO and TiO2 terminations of…
Total energies, electronic structure, surface energies, polarization, potentials and charge densities were studied for slabs of BaTiO_3 using the Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (LAPW) method. The depolarization field inhibits…
We have investigated the atomically-resolved substrate and homoepitaxial thin film surfaces of SrTiO3(001) using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) combined with pulsed laser deposition (PLD). It was found…
A first-principles atomic orbital-based electronic structure method is used to investigate the low index surfaces of rutile Titanium Dioxide. The method is relatively cheap in computational terms, making it attractive for the study of oxide…
Charge redistribution across heterojunctions has long been utilized to induce functional response in materials systems. Here we examine how the composition of the terminating surface affects charge transfer across a heterojunction…
