Abstract

The geometric and electronic structure of ultrathin oxide films grown by oxidation of NiAI(110) was studied by LEED (low energy electron diffraction), EELS (electron energy loss spectroscopy), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and ARUPS (angle resolved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy). Two diffcrent ultrathin aluminum oxide films have been observed which are characterized by a hexagonal arrangement of oxygen atoms. The films are approximately 5 Å thick, most likely consisting of two alternating oxygen - aluminum layers and are oxygen terminated. The second oxide phase shows close similarities with the (111) face of γ − A12O3 and the (0001) face of α – A12O3 respectively.
