Surface science studies of thin praseodymium oxide<br />

films grown on silicon substrates are of high interest<br />

in view of applications in such different fields<br />

as microelectronics <strong>and</strong> heterogeneous catalysis. In<br />

particular, a detailed characterization of the growth<br />

<strong>and</strong> the final structure of the films are m<strong>and</strong>atory to<br />

achieve a fundamental underst<strong>and</strong>ing of such topics<br />

as oxygen mobility <strong>and</strong> defect structure, <strong>and</strong> their<br />

role for the electronic <strong>and</strong> chemical properties. In<br />

this paper, the MBe growth of praseodymium oxide<br />

films on Si(111) substrates was investigated at lowdeposition<br />

rates (0.06 nm / min) <strong>and</strong> low-oxygen partial<br />

pressures (p(o 2 )
