Abstract
Auger electron spectroscopy using excitation by grazing impact of protons and by impact of electrons was applied to determine the elemental composition of the topmost and near-surface layers of DyScO3(110). The vicinal DyScO3 crystals were annealed at 1320Â K in O2 and Ar atmospheres by varying annealing time. The prepared surfaces show regularly arranged, smooth terraces with single-atomic steps. The surfaces have DyO termination after annealing in oxygen flow for 30-60Â min. Annealing for 600Â min of DyScO3 in oxidizing or inert atmospheres resulted in a ScOx termination.
