temperature distribution of the desorption states indicates<br />

a wide range of different surface binding sites. The<br />

dotted line shows the N2 desorption from the same film<br />

after annealing. The area under the desorption curve is<br />

comparable to that of the as-grown film showing that the<br />

annealing did not cause substantial loss of the film surface<br />

area. The high temperature annealing changes the<br />

ordering and the binding properties of the surfaces.<br />

Summary and Conclusions<br />

We have demonstrated the capability to grow thin<br />

nanoporous MgO films with high surface areas. The<br />

morphology of the films can be controlled by varying the<br />

preparation parameters. Prepared films are thermally<br />

stable upon annealing. At high temperatures, changes in<br />

the ordering and binding properties of the surfaces occur.<br />
