Title: Pauling's rules for oxide surfaces

Abstract

Determination of surface structures currently requires careful measurement and computationally expensive methods since, unlike bulk crystals, guiding principles for generating surface structural hypotheses are frequently lacking. In this work, we discuss the applicability of Pauling's rules as a set of guidelines for surface structures. The wealth of solved reconstructions on SrTiO₃ (100), (110), and (111) are considered, as well as nanostructures on these surfaces and a few other ABO₃ oxide materials. These rules are found to explain atomic arrangements for reconstructions and thin films just as they apply to bulk oxide materials. Lastly, using this data and Pauling's rules, the fundamental structural units of reconstructions and their arrangement are discussed.

Transition from Reconstruction toward Thin Film on the (110) Surface of Strontium Titanate

Journal Article Wang, Z. ; Loon, A. ; Subramanian, A. ; ... - Nano Letters

The surfaces of metal oxides often are reconstructed with a geometry and composition that is considerably different from a simple termination of the bulk. Such structures can also be viewed as ultrathin films, epitaxed on a substrate. Here, the reconstructions of the SrTiO₃ (110) surface are studied combining scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), transmission electron diffraction, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and analyzed with density functional theory calculations. Whereas SrTiO₃ (110) invariably terminates with an overlayer of titania, with increasing density its structure switches from n × 1 to 2 × n. At the same time the coordination of the Timore »« less

Surface stability and the selection rules of substrate orientation for optimal growth of epitaxial II-VI semiconductors

Journal Article Yin, Wan-Jian ; Department of Physics & Astronomy, and Wright Center for Photovoltaics Innovation and Commercialization, The University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio 43606 ; Yang, Ji-Hui ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The surface structures of ionic zinc-blende CdTe (001), (110), (111), and (211) surfaces are systematically studied by first-principles density functional calculations. Based on the surface structures and surface energies, we identify the detrimental twinning appearing in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of II-VI compounds as the (111) lamellar twin boundaries. To avoid the appearance of twinning in MBE growth, we propose the following selection rules for choosing optimal substrate orientations: (1) the surface should be nonpolar so that there is no large surface reconstructions that could act as a nucleation center and promote the formation of twins; (2) the surfacemore »« less

Insights into the crystal chemistry of Earth materials rendered by electron density distributions: Pauling's rules revisited

Journal Article Gibbs, Gerald V. ; Ross, Nancy L. ; Cox, David F. ; ... - American Mineralogist, 99(5-6):1071-1084

Pauling's first two rules are examined in terms of the accumulation of the electron density between bonded pairs of atoms for a relatively large number of oxide and silicate crystals and siloxane molecules. The distribution of the electron density shows that the radius of the oxygen atom is not fixed, but that it actually decreases systematically from ~1.40 Å to ~ 0.65 Å as the polarizing power and the electronegativity of the bonded metal atoms increase and the distribution of the O atom is progressively polarized and contracted along the bond vectors by the impact of the bonded interactions.

Magnetic order and interfacial coupling in oxide thin films and heterostructures probed with soft x-ray dichroism

Conference Arenholz, Elke ; van der Laan, G

The combination of novel magnetic properties induced by reduced dimensionality and strong magnetic interactions across interfaces leads to intriguing new properties in magnetic hetero- and nanostructures not observed in the constituent materials in bulk form. It is the careful optimization of the characteristics of the individual layers as well as the magnetic coupling across the interface that allows us to control the magnetic properties and tailor them for devices, e.g., in information storage and processing technology. Soft x-ray magnetic spectroscopies can make unique contributions to improving our understanding of complex magnetic nanostructures since these techniques provide elemental, valence- and site-symmetrymore »« less
