abstract = {In this paper, we report on surface transformations under
high-temperature (up to 1000 °C) annealing of SrTiO3(100)
single crystals under reducing conditions and in situ
oxidation. We compare macroscale electrical measurements
with nanoscale investigations of as-reduced and oxidized
surfaces. On the nanoscale, annealing in ultra-high-vacuum
(UHV) conditions causes a restoration of the long-range
atomic order of the (1 × 1) pattern. However, above
annealing temperatures of 900 °C, a complex reconstruction
of (×)R 33.7° and subsequently (×)R 26.6° appears. The
surface becomes Ti-rich and residual carbon desorbs.
Electrical surface conductivity increases with the annealing
temperature, revealing an inhomogeneous spot-like structure
on the nanoscale. Mapping of the surface potential also
reveals comparable spatial variations, marking exits of
dislocations. The estimated surface work function is
increased upon reoxidation by 0.55 eV in the case of
annealing at 900 °C, when (×)R 33.7° dominates. Our
results show that in contrast to the macroscopic resistance
of the crystal, the nanoscale surface conductivity and
surface potential are significantly influenced by redox
processes at room temperature.},
