โฆ Synopsis
We present a structural investigation of the polar 111 surface of CoO single crystals by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction.
The surface is found to be always covered by a ; 50 A-thick spinel Co O layer that was quantitatively 3 4 characterized. Attempts to remove this layer by UHV annealings or Ar q bombardments lead to the formation of metallic Co clusters on the surface that transform again in Co O by annealing under oxygen.
