The controlled fabrication of nanostructures has often made use of a substrate template to mediate and control the growth kinetics. Electronic substrate-mediated interactions have been demonstrated to guide the assembly of organic molecules or the nucleation of metal atoms but usually at cryogenic temperatures, where the diffusion has been limited. Combining STM, STS, and DFT studies, we report that the strong electronic interaction between transition metals and oxides could indeed govern the growth of low-dimensional oxide nanostructures. As a demonstration, a series of FeO triangles, which are of the same structure and electronic properties but with different sizes (side length >3 nm), are synthesized on Pt(111). The strong interfacial interaction confines the growth of FeO nanostructures, leading to a discrete size distribution and a uniform step structure. Given the same interfacial configuration, as-grown FeO nanostructures not only expose identical edge/surface structure but also exhibit the same electronic properties, as manifested by the local density of states and local work functions. We expect the interfacial confinement effect can be generally applied to control the growth of oxide nanostructures on transition metal surfaces. These oxide nanostructures of the same structure and electronic properties are excellent models for studies of nanoscale effects and applications.
