Abstract
Nanosized platinum clusters were grown on a TiO2(110) surface and annealed in ultrahigh vacuum at high temperatures. This leads to the so-called strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) state, characterized by a complete encapsulation of the clusters with a reduced titanium oxide layer. We present atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy measurements of the cluster surfaces and an atomic model of the SMSI state. The ability to resolve the cluster surface geometry with atomistic detail may help to identify the active sites responsible for the SMSI.Entities:
