Abstract:
The structure of the topmost layer of thin V₂O₃ films on a Au(111) substrate is studied via Ion Beam Triangulation. From electron emission induced by fast H atoms scattered from the film surface under a grazing angle of incidence as function of azimuthal rotation of the target, we find evidence for a reconstructed O₃ termination as proposed from DFT-calculations and recent experimental work using methods based on large angle impact of fast ions. From our studies we derive detailed lateral positions for the topmost O atoms.
