利用Scanning Tunneling Microscope(STM)和Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy(STS)技术研究了La0.67Ca0.33MnO3(001)表面性质,研究发现表面呈现多相分离现象,在锰氧终端面观察到了绝缘性的(槡2×槡2)R45°重构表面和金属性的(1×1)重构表面,在镧钙氧终端面,观察到了表面呈现条纹状结构.La0.67Ca0.33MnO3(001)面(槡2×槡2)R45°重构表面电子态随温度的演化,表明(槡2×槡2)R45°重构作为一个绝缘相稳定在表面,可能掩盖了体相中相变信息.
La0.67Ca0.33MnO3(001) thin films have been grown with pulsed laser deposition method,and the surface structures and electronic states have been characterized using scanning tunneling microscopy /spectroscopy(STM/STS).In the MnO terminated surface,insulating(21/2×21/2) R45° reconstruction surface and metallic(1 × 1) reconstruction surface are observed.In the(La,Ca)-O terminated surface,the surface presents the stripe structure.The results obtained from the variable temperature STM /STS show that the(21/2 × 21/2) R45° reconstructed surface persists in insulating phase in a temperature range of 144—300 K,which may shield the signal of possible insulator-metal transition occurred in bulk in STS measurements.
