abstract = {Donor-doped transition metal oxides such as donor-doped
strontium titanate (n−SrTiO3) are of fundamental
importance for oxide electronic devices as well as for
electronic surface and interface engineering. Here we
quantitatively analyze the variable band alignment and the
resulting space charge layer at the surface of n−SrTiO3,
determined by its surface redox chemistry. Synchrotron-based
ambient-pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy conducted
under applied thermodynamic bias is used to access
electronic structure and chemistry of the surface. We find
an electron depletion layer driven by cationic surface point
defects that are controlled by adjusting the ambient
atmosphere (pO2). We correlate the pO2 dependence to a
response of the strontium sublattice, namely the
precipitation of strontium oxide and the formation of
charged strontium vacancies at the surface. We suggest the
reversible conversion of surface-terminating strontium oxide
into extended strontium oxide clusters as the responsible
process by resolving chemical dynamics in situ. As we show,
atomic control of these subtle changes in the surface redox
chemistry allows us to tailor electrical transport
properties along the n−SrTiO3 surface. Our study thereby
gives access to engineering electronic band bending in
transition metal oxides by the control of the surface
chemistry.},
