Abstract
SrTiO3 nanoislands on SrTiO3 (001) in a diffusion-limited growth regime were studied using in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The STM images revealed two characteristic features of nucleation stages. First, the minimum lateral size of the one-unit-cell (uc)-high SrTiO3 islands was 4 x 4 uc(2). Second, one-dimensional SrTiO3 islands of a 4 uc width grew along the crystal symmetry directions. These observations suggest that 4 x 4-uc(2) islands act as a minimum nucleation seed, and the addition of SrTiO3 molecular species of the same width is the primary and dominant growth process in SrTiO3 homoepitaxy. A close inspection of the surface of the substrate during the deposition process revealed possible connections between surface reconstruction and energetically favorable nucleation of SrTiO3 islands. © 2015 Phark and Chang; licensee Springer.
