Ultra thin iron oxide films were grown on Ag(001) via reactive molecular beam epitaxy (metal deposition in oxygen atmosphere). The first monolayer shows FeO stoichiometry as concluded from x-ray photoemission spectra. Both low energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy demonstrate that the FeO layer has quasi-hexagonal symmetry. This points to the growth of FeO(111) although the films is deposited on a surface with square symmetry. The periodicity as well as the height of the undulated FeO(111) film was analyzed by STM and SPA-LEED. The FeO(111) lattice is slightly rotated with respect to the Ag(001) substrate surface. This rotation causes an undulation of the oxide layer in two different directions with different undulation heights.
