Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy of Mo clusters grown on TiO2(110) [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Molybdenum was deposited in two steps (3�eq.�ML and 1�eq.�ML) on the light blue rutile TiO2(1�1�0) (1�נ1) surface at room temperature, each Mo deposition cycle being followed by an annealing up to 950-1000�K. This procedure was found to lead to formation of separated clusters having a size in very wide range (1-20�nm). Scanning tunneling microscopy showed a dependence of the cluster morphology as a function of the size. The scanning tunneling spectra of Mo clusters was studied as a function of cluster dimensions and discussed in comparison with photoelectron spectroscopy results previously obtained for homogeneous Mo films. The dI/dV curves do not display the valence band structure of deposited material, which could be explained by the Schottky barrier formation.
