Institute of Chemistry of FEB RAS, Vladivostok, Russia. ORTA coating was obtained by Dr. E. V. Shchitovskaya and Prof. N.B. Kondrikov – FESU, Vladivostok, Russia.
STM image of Ruthenium titanium oxide (RuO2TiO2) coating flat surface area with atomic resolution. Image was obtained in ambient air, after storing over a long period of time.
Achievement of the atomic image of the conductive oxides ORTA evidently is evoked with the absence of the corrosion oxide film, since ORTA itself is oxide. Obtained result indicate, that it is very promising to STM study of the conductive oxides structure in real conditions with atomic resolution. Firstly published in March 2005.
