M. Nantoh et al., SCANNING-TUNNELING-MICROSCOPY SPECTROSCOPY ON THE (110)SURFACES OF YBA2CU3OY THIN-FILMS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 1857-1858
As-grown surfaces of (110) oriented laser-ablated YBa2Cu3Oy films have
been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy.
The orthorhombic atomic lattice image, corresponding to Cu atom arrang
ement of the (110) plane, was observed at 4.2 K. The STS results indic
ated that the surface electronic structure varied with the distance of
a few to several nano-meters.
