A survey of fractured SrTiO surfaces: from the micro-meter to nano-meter scale
arXiv:1002.1158 · doi:10.1116/1.3420395
Abstract
Cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy was utilized to study fractured perovskie oxide surfaces. It was found for the non-cleavable perovskite oxide, SrTiO, that atomically flat terraces could be routinely created with a controlled fracturing procedure. Optical and scanning electron microscopy as well as a profilometer were used to obtain the information from sub-millimeter to sub-micrometer scales of the fractured surface topography.
