Experimental and simulated STM images of stoichiometric and partially reduced RuO2(110) surfaces including adsorbates
(2002) In Surface Science 515(1). p.143-156- Abstract
- We present experimental and DFT-simulated STM images of ultrathin RuO2(110) films on Ru(0001), including adsorbates such as oxygen and CO. We are able to identify the under-coordinated O atoms on the RuO2(110) surface with STM, i.e. the bridging O atoms and the on-top O atoms. The partial reduction of the RuO2(110) surface by CO exposure at room temperature leads to a surface where part of the bridging O atoms have been removed and some of the vacancies are occupied by bridging CO. When dosing 10 L of CO at room temperature, the RuO2(110) surface becomes fully mildly reduced in that all bridging 0 atoms are replaced by bridging CO molecules. Annealing the surface to 600 K produces holes on the terraces of such a mildly reduced RuO2(110)... (More)

These pits are not generated by the recombination of lattice O with CO, but rather these pits are assigned to a complex temperature-induced rearrangement of surface atoms in the topmost RuO2 double layer of RuO2(110). With this process the bridging O atoms are again populated and surplus Ru atoms agglomerate in small islands at the rims of the holes. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. (Less)
