Abstract

The surface reconstruction on the (110) surface of LnScO3 (Ln=Gd, Tb, Dy) has been investigated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron diffraction coupled with higher-level density-functional theory methods. The experimental techniques generate constraints on the surface chemistry and structure that are used to inform the theoretical comparison of a number of potential surface structures. The resulting structure is then compared to experimental aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy results using multislice simulation. The surfaces of both single-crystalline substrates and hydrosauna synthesized nanoparticles exhibit a Sc-rich double layer with a Sc3O4 termination.
