Polar surfaces of compound materials have been the subject of intense activity in the past.
Electrostatic arguments, based on a model of rigid charges, predict that they should have an …

The interfaces of polar oxide heterostructures can display electronic properties unique from
the oxides they border, as they require screening from either internal or external sources of …

Whenever a compound crystal is cut normal to a randomly chosen direction, there is an
overwhelming probability that the resulting surface corresponds to a polar termination and is …

The stabilization of the unstable, polar copper terminated Cu2O (111) surface by
reconstruction and hydroxylation was studied theoretically with static and molecular …

We report on the formation of ultrathin Co oxide films by oxidation of correspondingly thin Co
films epitaxially grown on the unreconstructed—ie, metastable—(1× 1) phase of Ir (100), on …

Cobalt monoxide (CoO) nanomaterials have drawn attention for their remarkable
photocatalytic water splitting without an externally applied potential or co-catalyst. The …

By means of X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and low energy electron diffraction, we
show that it is possible to grow good quality thin epitaxial CoO films on Fe (001) substrates …

The atomic structure of a four layer thick film of CoO on a Ag (001) substrate has been
determined by comparing experimental low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) I (V) curves …

We present here a detailed growth optimization of CoO thin film on Ag (001) involving the
effects of different growth parameters on the electronic structure. A well-ordered …

Offering perspective on both the scientific and engineering aspects of 2D semiconductors,
Ultrathin Two-Dimensional Semiconductors for Novel Electronic Applications discusses how …
