Vanadium has recieved comparibly little attention in surface science, despite the interesting superconducting properties, since its superconducting phase offers a high critical temperature with moderate critical fields [1]. The (1×5) reconstuction of the Vanadium (100) surface has been studied by means of AES, ARPES, STM topography, LEED and DFT [2, 3]. The influence of oxygen in forming this reconstuction has been of special interest. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy to investigate the local electronic structure of the (1×5) reconstruction with atomic scale precision. By reporting on conductance measurements between 0 − 1 V, we can show that the local density of states strongly varies within the reconstruction.
