The morphology of growing Pd nano-particles on MgO(001) surfaces have been investigated in situ, during growth, by grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering, for different substrate temperatures. The 2D patterns obtained are quantitatively analyzed, and the average morphological parameters (shape, size) deduced. Above 650 K, the aggregates adopt their equilibrium shape of truncated octahedron, and the interfacial energy is deduced.

We examine the adsorption of a single Ni atom on a monolayer of MgO on a Ag substrate using DFT and DFT+U computational approaches. We find that the electronic and magnetic properties vary considerably across the three binding sites of the surface. T
wo of the binding sites are competitive in energy, and the preferred site depends on the strength of the on-site Coulomb interaction U. These results can be understood in terms of the competition between bonding and magnetism for surface adsorbed transition metal atoms. Comparisons are made with a recent experimental and theoretical study of Co on MgO/Ag, and implications for scanning tunneling microscopy experiments on the Ni system are discussed.
We report on a systematic study of the growth of epitaxial TiO2 films deposited by pulsed laser deposition on Ti-terminated (001) SrTiO3 single crystals. By using in-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction, low energy electron diffraction, x
-ray photoemission spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy, we show that the stabilization of the anatase (001) phase is preceded by the growth of a pseudomorphic Sr-Ti-O intermediate layer, with a thickness between 2 and 4 nm. The data demonstrate that the formation of this phase is related to the activation of long range Sr migration from the substrate to the film. The role of interface Gibbs energy minimization, as a driving force for Sr diffusion, is discussed. Our results enrich the phase diagram of the Sr-Ti-O system under epitaxial strain opening the roudeficient SrTiO phase.
The origin of large perpendicular magneto-crystalline anisotropy (PMCA) in Fe/MgO (001) is revealed by comparing Fe layers with and without the MgO. Although Fe-O $p$-$d$ hybridization is weakly present, it cannot be the main origin of the large PMCA
as claimed in previous study. Instead, perfect epitaxy of Fe on the MgO is more important to achieve such large PMCA. As an evidence, we show that the surface layer in a clean free-standing Fe (001) dominantly contributes to $E_{MCA}$, while in the Fe/MgO, those by the surface and the interface Fe layers contribute almost equally. The presence of MgO does not change positive contribution from $langle xz|ell_Z|yzrangle$, whereas it reduces negative contribution from $langle z^2|ell_X|yzrangle$ and $langle xy|ell_X|xz,yzrangle$.
Crystalline Fe3O4/NiO bilayers were grown on MgO(001) substrates using reactive molecular beam epitaxy to investigate their structural properties and their morphology. The film thickness either of the Fe3O4 film or of the NiO film has been varied to
shed light on the relaxation of the bilayer system. The surface properties as studied by x-ray photo electron spectroscopy and low energy electron diffraction show clear evidence of stoichiometric well-ordered film surfaces. Based on the kinematic approach x-ray diffraction experiments were completely analyzed. As a result the NiO films grow pseudomorphic in the investigated thickness range (up to 34nm) while the Fe3O4 films relax continuously up to the thickness of 50nm. Although all diffraction data show well developed Laue fringes pointing to oxide films of very homogeneous thickness, the Fe3O4-NiO interface roughens continuously up to 1nm root-mean-square roughness with increasing NiO film thickness while the Fe3O4 surface is very smooth independent on the Fe3O4 film thickness. Finally, the Fe3O4-NiO interface spacing is similar to the interlayer spacing of the oxide films while the NiO-MgO interface is expanded.
Molecular beam epitaxy of Fe3Si on GaAs(001) is studied in situ by grazing incidence x-ray diffraction. Layer-by-layer growth of Fe3Si films is observed at a low growth rate and substrate temperatures near 200 degrees Celsius. A damping of x-ray inte
nsity oscillations due to a gradual surface roughening during growth is found. The corresponding sequence of coverages of the different terrace levels is obtained. The after-deposition surface recovery is very slow. Annealing at 310 degrees Celsius combined with the deposition of one monolayer of Fe3Si restores the surface to high perfection and minimal roughness. Our stoichiometric films possess long-range order and a high quality heteroepitaxial interface.
