SrTiO3 ultra-thin film was deposited on the Sr/Si(001) surface using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at room temperature and studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). After annealing at 660 ℃ for about 60 minutes in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), nanosize islands were formed on the Sr/Si(001) surface. High resolution STM images and dI/dV mapping of islands on Sr/Si(001) were obtained. The islands can be attributed to TiSi2 islands with C49 and C54 structures. The existence of Sr on Si is not sufficient to prevent the reaction between Si and Ti in preparation of ultra-thin SrTiO3 films.
