STM topography of the STO surface. Overview of the c(4 × 2) reconstructed SrTiO3 (100) surface after long-term annealing at T = 850 °C (a) and \(\left( {\sqrt 5 \times \sqrt 5 - R26,6^\circ } \right)\) reconstructed SrTiO3 (100) obtained after annealing to T = 1050 °C ((b, c))41,42. Images are constant current topographies with tunneling parameters Utip = 2 V, I = 30 pA (a) and Utip = −1 V, I = 10 pA (b, c). Dark features visible after high-temperature annealing (c) are related to oxygen vacancies42,46. The length of the scale bar is 200 nm, 50 nm and 10 nm for ac images, respectively
