Pt${}_3$Zr(0001): A substrate for growing well-ordered ultrathin zirconia films by oxidation

Moritz Antlanger, Wernfried Mayr-Schmölzer, Jiří Pavelec +5

We have studied the surface of pure and oxidized Pt${}_3$Zr(0001) by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), Auger electron microscopy, and density functional theory (DFT). The well-ann…
