【 摘 要 】

Low-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy studies of FeO(111) films on Ru(0001) show formation of coincidence structures with a Moire pattern up to a thickness of four monolayers. In the four monolayer thick film, strained conducting Fe3O4(111) nanodomains nucleate in the insulating FeO(111) matrix and form an ordered inverse biphase superstructure. Further oxidation causes these domains to grow and to coalesce into a closed Fe3O4(111) film.
