The First Observation of an Atomic Scale Noncontact AFM Image of MoO3(010)

We have observed MoO3(010) surface on an atomic level by NC-AFM(Noncontact atomic force microscopy) for the first time. White arrays with 0.40 and 0.37 nm dimensions along [100] and [001], respectively, were observed, which corresponded to the topmost oxygen atoms of MoO3(010).
