We report the growth of CoO–films on Si substrates. The characterization of the electronic and geometrical structure took place by MIES/UPS and STM/AFM, respectively. Two strategies were pursued for the preparation of the CoO films: (1) Co films (10 layers) were prepared by thermal evaporation of Co onto Si substrates. The films were characterized by XPS, and MIES/UPS(HeI). The Co film was then exposed to oxygen (2000L) at 500K under No-dqin situNo-dq control of MIES and UPS(HeI). (2) Co and O2 (10ML in 7min at 10−6mbar) were co–deposited at 400K, and were characterized by XPS, and MIES/UPS. Although both procedures give films that display the electronic structure of bulk CoO, procedure (2), according to STM, produced a superior geometric structure. Both MIES and UPS display 5 spectral features. However, characteristic differences are seen. The same behaviour has been seen before for LaCoO3 and NiO. By recalling that the He* probe atom, employed for MIES, interacts far more efficiently with the diffuse O2p states of the O2− anions than with the rather compact Co3d states of the Co2+ cations, the qualitatively different behaviour, seen in MIES and UPS, can be explained on the basis of a Co2O11 cluster model (S. Masuda et al: P.R.L. 71 (1993) 4214).
