• characterization of the work function using the example of artificially formed crystalline titanium monoxide (TiO) nanowires on strontium titanate (SrTiO3) surfaces, providing a sharp atomic interface. The measured value of 3.31(21) eV is the first experimental work function evidence for a cubic TiO phase, where

• ]). Strontium titanate, SrTiO3, is a perfect example of a semiconductor with a wide bandgap of 3.2 eV and also a model perovskite oxide. Ti4+ cations provide no electrons for the d-band, which can participate in conductivity. Strontium titanate finds many applications as a dielectric ceramic material [15] but

• the perovskite-type cubic structure is the flexibility to tune the composition of the A and B sites to form substituted materials [148]. Strontium titanate (SrTiO3) is an important dielectric material, with a band gap energy of 3.2 eV. The SrTiO3 has been explored as an ideal photocatalytic material
