Abstract

Read online

As ternary perovskite-type oxides are increasingly used in fuel cells and catalysis, greater understanding of their surface chemical properties is required. Here the authors report a pronounced ordering of hydroxyls on the cleaved (001) surface of Ca3Ru2O7 perovskite induced by O-octahedral rotation and tilt.
