Low Energy Ion Scattering (LEIS) has been employed to optimize a thermal treatment to achieve a fully A-terminated NdGaO3 (110) single crystal surface. In the image, a NdGaO3 single crystal as-received has been analyzed by TEM. The LEIS depth profile analysis (superimposed) has identified a different Nd and Ga stoichiometry in the first 20nm surface with respect to the crystal bulk, corresponding to an amorphous layer observed in the TEM image.
