The surfaces of perovskite oxides affect their functional properties, and while a bulk-truncated (1$times$1) termination is generally assumed, its existence and stability is controversial. Here, such a surface is created by cleaving the prototypical SrTiO$_3$(001) in ultra-high vacuum, and its response to thermal annealing is observed. Atomically resolved nc-AFM shows that intrinsic point defects on the as-cleaved surface migrate at temperatures above 200,$^circ$C. At 400--500,$^circ$C, a disordered surface layer forms, albeit still with a (1$times$1) pattern in LEED. Purely TiO$_2$-terminated surfaces, prepared by wet-chemical treatment, are also disordered despite their (1$times$1) periodicity in LEED.
The effect of growth conditions on the structural and electronic properties of the polar/non-polar LaCrO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ (LCO/STO) interface has been investigated. The interface is either insulating or metallic depending on growth conditions. A high sh
We study the underlying chemical, electronic and magnetic properties of a number of magnetite based thin films. The main focus is placed onto NiO/Fe$_3$O$_4$(001) bilayers grown on MgO(001) and Nb-SrTiO$_3$(001) substrates. We compare the results wit
Surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy, which is a versatile method to analyze the energetic distribution of electronic defect states at surfaces and interfaces of wide-bandgap semiconductor (hetero-)structures, is applied to comparatively investiga
We have performed angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments on the surface states of SrTiO$_3$(001) using linearly and circularly polarized light to investigate the subband structures of out-of-plane $d_{xz/yz}$ orbitals and chira
The origin of the $3 times 1$ reconstruction observed in epitaxial LaCoO$_{3}$ films on SrTiO$_3(001)$ is assessed by using first-principles calculations including a Coulomb repulsion term. We compile a phase diagram as a function of the oxygen press
