Processes on the magnetite (Fe3−δO4) (001) surface like oxidative regrowth, (partial) lifting of the subsurface cation vacancy reconstruction and the element-specific incorporation of adatoms demonstrate the sensitive relation of oxygen pressure, cation transport and structure in the near-surface region of Fe3−δO4 influencing the performance of catalysts and devices [1,2,3]. We exemplarily studied the homoepitaxial growth of Fe3−δO4 (001) surface in dependence of the O2 pressure and iron flux. X-ray intensity growth oscillations proved ordered growth of Fe3−δO4 for all probed conditions while atomic force microscopy revealed newly formed micrometre-sized surface structures exceeding the amount of deposited material [4]. Our results indicate the presence of multiple parallel processes during reactive Fe3−δO4 homoepitaxy suggesting similar processes to occur also in other applications of Fe3−δO4. [1] Nie et al., J.
