Abstract:Monolayer vanadium oxide films grown on Pt(111) supports can be reversibly switched between an oxygen‐poor and an oxygen‐rich composition, equivalent to V2O3 and V2O4.5, respectively. While the overall oxygen storage capacity of the film is quantified by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the atomic‐scale binding sites of the excess O species are determined by low‐temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and electron diffraction. In the O‐poor phase, the oxide takes the form of a honeycomb lattice that gets pa… Show more
