2D Quasicrystals from Semiconducting Perovskite Oxides — •Wolf Widdra1,2 and Stefan Förster11Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Halle, Germany — 2Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, Halle, Germany

During the last decade, the fields of interface-driven 2D materials have gained tremendous attention, often due to their promising new structural or advantageous transport properties. One of these are the interface-driven 2D oxide quasicrystals (OQCs) which exhibit perfect, long-range dodecagonal rotational symmetry [1]. Such symmetry is forbidden for periodic structures. However, it can form in systems that are describable by 2D tiling patterns, which follow self-similarity supporting inflation rules. For the class of Perovskite oxides, we show that ultrathin films restructure into 2D quasicrystals on top of a threefold metallic substrate: BaTiO3 as well as SrTiO3 form stable and long-range ordered dodecagonal OQCs on Pt(111) that are characterized by brilliant 12-fold diffraction patterns [1]. Scanning tunneling microscopy resolves the aperiodic structure of surface atoms forming tiling patterns based on triangular, quadratic, and rhombic elements that are self-similar on length scales of (2+√3)n times 0.68 nm. Concept and details of the interface-driven structures will be discussed in context of phason strain and formation of competing approximant structures [2]. First results on the electronic bandstructure will be presented.
