Surface Termination, Composition and Reconstruction of Fe3O4(001) and gamma-Fe2O3(001)

Abstract

Addresses a current controversy concerning the nature of the surfaces of Fe3O4(001) and gamma-Fe2O3(001) grown on MgO(001) by molecular beam epitaxy. Shows that gamma-Fe2O3(001) exhibits a (1x1) surface net and that the very-near-surface region is subsdtantially enriched with oxygen relative to the bulk.
