The coincidence lattice formed between a Mo(001) surface and a MgO thin film is used to prepare Fe nanoparticle ensembles with high spatial uniformity. As reported by Jacek Goniakowski, Niklas Nilius, and co‐workers on page 75 , the ordered growth of Fe is initiated by regular work function modulations and geometric distortions of the oxide layer across the coincidence cell.
