Abstract :
In this study, magnetite Fe3O4(110) thin films were grown epitaxially on MgO substrates. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to observe surface structure after annealing the films in UHV at 1000 K. The conductivity character of the films was analyzed by means of scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). Nanometer scale magnetism of magnetite film was also observed from the STS data.
