Formation of a faceted MoO2 epilayer on Mo(112) studied by XPS, UPS and STM — •Thomas Schroeder1, Tien Lin Lee1, Jörg Zegenhagen1, Norbert Magg2, Boonchuan Immaraporn2, and Hans-Joachim Freund2 — 1E.S.R.F, Beamline ID32, 6, Rue Jules Horowitz, 38043 Grenoble, France — 2Fritz-Haber-Institut, Abt.

The open trough and row Mo(112) surface serves as substrate for the epitaxial growth of MoO2. XPS, UPS and STM studies of the oxygen adsorption allow to monitor step-by-step the transformation of the electronic and morphological properties during this process. XPS and UPS spectra reveal that a stable oxygen chemisorbed state precedes the formation of MoO2. STM topographs identify this oxygen chemisorbed phase as an oxygen-induced p(2x3) reconstruction of the missing row type. This precursor state evolves into a flat p(1x3) reconstructed (010) MoO2 layer which roughens by the formation of (110) facets under further oxygen exposure.
