These techniques show that the surfaces are (1 × 1) reconstructed, which points to the absence of ordered cation vacancies at the surface. The best surfaces were obtained after a selective chemical wet etch. We suggest that for ScO 2 terminated surfaces, adsorbates, or oxygen vacancies are most likely to occur in order to overcome the polarity difference between stoichiometric bulk crystal and vacuum. © 2012 American Physical Society.}, year = {2012}, journal = {Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics}, volume = {85}, number = {16}, issn = {10980121}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.85.165413}, note = {cited By 11}, language = {eng}, }
