摘要
We report on a scanning tunneling microscopy study of TiO2(110) surfaces. Different types of intrinsic defects are produced by a high-temperature treatment at T greater than or equal to 1070 K in UHV, i.e. (001) single-steps, (001) line defects, and oxygen vacancies occur as predominant types of defects. Atomically resolved STM images make it possible to determine their geometric structures. With additional input from voltage-dependent (STS) images, simple structural models are derived for electrostatically neutral (001) single-steps at TiO2(110) surfaces and for (001) line defects. The latter may formally be described by titanium vacancies and oxygen vacancies along the [001] direction.
