Study of formation and thermal stability of Fe layers on ZnO surfaces — Alexander Demund, Daniel Wett, Sylvia Reiche, Rüdiger Szargan, and •Reinhard Denecke — Wilhelm-Ostwald-Institut für Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie, Universität Leipzig, Linnéstr. 2, 04103 Leipzig

Formation and thermal stability of Fe layers on ZnO surfaces have been studied by means of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Low Energy Electron Diffraction. Experiments were performed on the polar surfaces ZnO(0001) and ZnO(000-1) and on the non-polar (1120) surface. The results indicated a pseudo 2D growth mode for iron on ZnO at room temperature, which was less pronounced on the Zn-terminated (0001) surface. Under ultra high vacuum conditions low coverages of deposited Fe⁰ on all ZnO single crystal surfaces were partially oxidized by a small fraction of residual -OH-groups and ZnO to FeO. A strong temperature dependence of the interface reactivity was found upon annealing. Starting from 200 - 300^∘C iron was first oxidized to bivalent iron oxide. After complete oxidation of Fe⁰ to Fe²⁺ at around 400^∘C, Fe²⁺ reacted to Fe³⁺. Above temperatures of 500^∘C the deposited metallic iron was completely oxidized to trivalent iron. Differences observed for the different surface orientations will be discussed.
