Abstract

The electron-stimulated desorption of oxygen from the surfaces of maximally-valent transition-metal oxides during electron microscope observation leads to the formation of the corresponding monoxide. The technique of surface profile imaging was used to follow the development of the monoxide, and revealed that these (metallic) phases invariably grew with a well-defined three-dimensional epitaxial relationship with the original oxide. Computer-drawn structural models enabled insight to be gained about the atomic rearrangement which took place during the monoxide growth.
