abstract = {We report on differences in the magnetite (111) surface
structure when prepared under oxidizing and reducing
conditions. Both preparations were done under UHV conditions
at elevated temperatures, but in one case the sample was
cooled down while keeping it in an oxygen atmosphere.
Scanning tunneling microscopy after each of the preparations
showed a different apparent morphology, which is discussed
to be an electronic effect and which is reflected in the
necessity of using opposite bias tunneling voltages in order
to obtain good images. Surface x-ray diffraction revealed
that both preparations lead to Fe vacancies, leading to
local O-terminations, the relative fraction of which
depending on the preparation. The preparation under reducing
conditions lead to a larger fraction of Fe-termination. The
geometric structure of the two different terminations was
found to be identical for both treatments, even though the
surface and near-surface regions exhibit small compositional
differences; after the oxidizing treatment they are iron
deficient. Further evidence for the dependence of iron vs
oxygen fractional surface terminations on preparation
conditions comes from Fourier transform infrared
reflection-absorption spectroscopy, which is used to study
the adsorption of formic acid. These molecules dissociate
and adsorb in chelating and bidentate bridging geometries on
the Fe-terminated areas and the signal of typical infrared
absorption bands is stronger after the preparation under
reducing conditions, which results in a higher fraction of
Fe-termination. The adsorption of formic acid induced an
atomic roughening of the magnetite (111) surface which we
conclude from the quantitative analysis of the crystal
truncation rod data. The roughening process is initiated by
atomic hydrogen, which results from the dissociation of
formic acid after its adsorption on the surface. Atomic
hydrogen adsorbs at surface oxygen and after recombination
with another H this surface hydroxyl can form H2O, which may
desorb from the surface, while iron ions diffuse into
interstitial sites in the bulk.},
