摘要：

Among the 3d transition metal monoxides, MnO plays a particular role due to the high spin ground state of the 3d 5 configuration of Mn2+. Therefore, MnO could be an excellent model system to investigate many kinds of spin dependent or magnetic interactions between electrons in the surface of an antiferromagnetic solid. But in practice, most experimental investigations on crystalline MnO(0 0 1) surfaces suffer from the bad structural quality of the surface of cleaved bulk crystals. In this paper, we report on the epitaxial growth of MnO/Ag(0 0 1) surfaces, which is proved to be a method to produce crystalline MnO(0 0 1) surfaces of high structural order.
