dc.description.abstract | We report on the self-organized growth of a regular array of Fe nanoclusters on a nanopatterned magnetite
surface. Under oxidizing preparation conditions, the s111d surface of magnetite exhibits a regular superstructure
with three-fold symmetry and a 42 ? periodicity. This superstructure represents an oxygen-terminated
s111d surface, which is reconstructed to form a periodically strained surface. A Fe film of 0.5 ? thickness was
deposited on this surface at room temperature. Fe nanoclusters are formed on top of the surface superstructure
creating a regular array with the periodicity of the superstructure. We demonstrate that at higher coverage Fe
growth switches from two- to three-dimensional mode. In the areas of the surface where the strain pattern is not
formed, random nucleation of Fe was observed. | en |
