Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="crat201300416-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>In this work, we investigate the possibility of growing high‐quality TiO₂ thin films on Fe(100) by intercalating a thin Au buffer layer. X‐ray Photoemission Spectroscopy and Low Energy Electron Diffraction are employed to investigate the electronic and structural properties of the TiO₂/Au/Fe interfaces. We obtain crystalline rutile films with a reduced number of defects when compared to room temperature grown TiO₂/Fe(100) samples but with some degree of interface mixing. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh11qvwq0b" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
