摘要
The structure and magnetism of thin iron oxide layers formed on a Fe(110) single crystal surface are investigated by Auger electron spectroscopy, ion beam triangulation, and spin polarized secondary electron emission. The formation of a FeO(111)-like film on top of the metal substrate is observed for oxidation at elevated temperatures. Additional oxygen exposure at room temperature is suggested to lead to a gradual conversion to Fe3O4. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
