Large-Scale Quasicrystal Approximants in the SrTiO3/Pt(111) System — •Oliver Krahn1, Sebastian Schenk1, Stefan Förster1, and Wolf Widdra1,21Institute of Physics, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, 06120 Halle, Germany — 2Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, 06120 Halle, Germany

The recent discovery of two-dimensional oxide quasicrystals (OQC) draws attention to aperiodic structure formation from perovskite materials on Pt(111) [1,2]. On the atomic level, the OQC generates an aperiodic self-similar tiling consisting of triangles, squares and rhombes with Ti atoms at the vertices and equal edge lengths. Periodically repeated patches of a quasicrystal are known as approximants.
In this talk, we present low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy data of the largest unit cell approximant known so far in 2D systems. Its unit cell is commensurate with a superstructure matrix of ( 160
918 ) with respect to Pt(111) and covers an area of 44.3 Å × 43.2 Å. The cell contains 48 Ti atoms that occupy the vertices of 48 triangles, 18 squares and 6 rhombes. These tiling elements are furthermore decorated with 48 Sr and 120 O atoms assuming a stoichiometry of 1:1:2.5 as determined for a related small unit cell approximant [3]. This adds up to a 2D unit cell containing 216 atoms.
