ESDIAD studies of the structure of TiO2(110)(1 × 1) and (1 × 2) surfaces and interfaces in conjunction with LEED and STM

The TiO₂(110)-(1 × 1) surface and its reconstruction as a (1 × 2) form have been studied with low energy electron diffraction (LEED), electron stimulated desorption ion angular distribution (ESDIAD) and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). Oxygen ion desorption occurs within a lobe perpendicular to the (1 × 1) surface, changing to two off-normal lobes for the (1 × 2) reconstruction. This transformation in the ESDIAD pattern is consistent with the added Ti₂O₃ row model of the (1 × 2) reconstruction proposed by Onishi and Iwasawa. STM studies of the stoichiometric and electron irradiated surfaces reinforce the association of the O⁺ ESD contribution with majority sites at the surface. Adsorption of acetic acid on the (1 × 1) surface produces a (2 × 1) overlayed and induces a reconstruction of the underlying substrate. ESDIAD reveals H⁺ ions emitted off-normally from dissociatively adsorbed acetate, and along the surface normal from surface hydroxyls. Adsorption of acetic acid on the (1 × 2) surface does not modify the LEED pattern, but ESDIAD reveals H⁺ desorption with a weaker off-normal contribution consistent with the Ti₂O₃ model of the reconstruction.     

TOF-ESDIAD measurements of a coadsorbate system: CO on an oxidized Cu(110) surface

A novel time-of-flight-electron-stimulated desorption ion angular distribution (ESDIAD) instrument has been used to investigate the striped structure of the oxidized Cu(110) surface and its interaction with coadsorbed CO. Two different oxygen sites were detected, leading to a two-fold symmetrical four-beam O⁺ ESDIAD pattern with tilting of the beams of 22° in the 1 0- and 8° in the 001-azimuth directions. By time-of-flight separation of ions and excited neutrals with different masses, permitting the simultaneous detection of the momentum resolved ESDIAD pattern of O⁺ and CO*, a strong interaction of the CO with oxygen atoms chemisorbed on the stripe edges was observed as seen by the behavior of O⁺ beams originating from these edge sites.     

Interaction between CO and NH3 coadsorbed on Ru(001): its effects on the ordering in mixed adlayers and the ammonia dissociation

The coadsorption of CO and ammonia on Ru(001) has been investigated by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS). The main focus has been on the interaction between different admolecules on the surface and its important role in surface reaction. Exposing CO-precovered Ru(001) to ammonia at 100 K leads to the formation of mixed ordered layers with a (2 × 2) periodicity. It was found that two types of (2 × 2) structures are formed depending on the CO precoverage. One of the (2 × 2) structures (-phase) contains one CO and two ammonia molecules per (2 × 2) unit cell and the other (β-phase) contains two CO and one ammonia. Structure models for the two phases are proposed based on vibrational spectra measured for the coadsorbed phases of CO and ammonia (¹⁵NH₃ or ND₃). TPD results suggest that the ammonia dissociation takes place on clean and CO-precovered Ru(001). The amount of dissociated ammonia decreased initially with increasing CO precoverage, passed a minimum at θ_CO = 0.25, increased with a further increase of CO coverage, and eventually reached a saturation value above θ_CO = 0.5. The dissociation of ammonia in the β−(2 × 2) structure was found to be enhanced by a factor of 4–6 as compared with the dissociation in the −(2 × 2) structure. The HREEL spectra indicated that the C_3v molecular axis of ammonia is tilted in the coadsorbed layers, the tilting being most pronounced in the β−(2 × 2) phase with a high CO partial coverage. This observation suggests that the tilting of ammonia due to the interaction with CO facilitates electron donation from Ru 4d to LUMO of ammonia, leading to the N-H bond dissociation. The microscopic model for the CO-NH₃ interaction on metal surfaces is presented.     

Adsorption and angle-resolved electron-stimulated desorption of CCl4 on Ru(0001)

The adsorption and electron-stimulated desorption of CCl₄ on Ru(0001) have been studied at 100 K using a variety of surface analytical techniques, including thermal desorption spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, low-energy ion scattering, and mass and angle-resolved electron-stimulated desorption (ESDIAD). CC1₄ is found to dissociate partially for fractional monolayer coverages, and to adsorb molecularly above a coverage of 13%. Upon electron bombardment, Cl⁺ ions are found to desorb with their angular distribution directed along the surface normal; this implies that CC1₄ orients with one C-C1 bond normal to the surface. The total yield of Cl⁺ increases linearly with increasing molecular CC1₄ coverage up to one monolayer, which implies that Cl⁺ stems mainly from molecular CCl₄ and that interadsorbate quenching is not significantly affecting the desorption yield. Beyond a coverage of 1 ML, the Cl⁺ yield continues to increase, and starts leveling off after 2 ML. We estimate the yield from a thick layer of CCl⁴ to be of the order of 3 × 10⁻⁸ ions/electron. The angular distribution of the desorbing Cl⁺ ions widens with increasing CCl₄ exposure. Besides Cl⁺, higher mass fragments of CCl₄, such as CCl⁺, CCl₂⁺ and CCl₃⁺ are also found to desorb from multilayers upon electron bombardment.     

Coadsorption of water and CO molecules on Ru(0 0 1) at high CO coverages: comparisons with a Ru(0 0 1) electrode surface

The coadsorption of carbon monoxide (CO) and water molecules on a Ru(0 0 1) surface has been studied by infrared spectroscopy, LEED and STM. At high CO coverage phases, a 2×2-(2CO+D₂O) structure was observed on both UHV and electrode surfaces. Electrode potential dependent structures from CO and water adlayers on an electrode surface were reproduced on a UHV surface by controlling molecular orientations of the first layer and second over-layer water molecules. At lower CO coverages, a CO band center showed coverage dependent shift down to 1444 cm⁻¹ due to an electron transfer from a lone pair of a water molecule to CO 2π^*.

VUV photochemistry of oriented molecules: methylchloride on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite

The photoionization of CH₃Cl adsorbed on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite has been investigated as a function of the photon energy in the range 13–35 eV. Two ions were detected — CH⁺₃ and H⁺ — which show differences in their coverage and energy dependences. At very low coverages only H⁺ ions are produced, while at higher coverages (still in the monolayer regime) CH⁺₃ ions are also observed, reflecting a change in the orientation of the molecule on the surface as a function of coverage. The cross-section curves as a function of the photon energy for both ions show a maximum at 22 eV, while the onsets are at 16 eV for CH⁺₃ and 19 eV for H⁺.     

Oxygen and carbon monoxide adsorption on W(111): An investigation with angular resolved ESD,AES and LEED

Oxygen and carbon monoxide adsorption on clean W(111) surfaces have been studied by angular resolved ESD emission (ESDIAD). In addition, the specimen could be characterized in situ with AES and LEED. Adsorption was performed at room temperature. The electron stimulated desorption yielded O⁺ ions from the two investigated adsorption layers. Upon oxygen adsorption followed by subsequent annealing at least eight different ESDIAD patterns have been obtained. However, a convincing interpretation on the basis of the surface geometry can only be presented for three patterns produced without annealing as well as for one pattern at a very high annealing temperature. The difficulties are a consequence of complex structure changes which the surface undergoes in the intermediate annealing temperature range. This may influence the little known neutralisation probability of the desorbing ions. In this special case ESDIAD probably reflects in contrast to LEED a picture of some specific adsorption sites (minority species) and therefore, no clear correlation of the two techniques can be seen. ESDIAD from carbon monoxide shows four different patterns and supports the model of linear bonded CO molecules at room temperature with oxygen in the “standing up” position. At T > 900 K, CO starts to dissociate and results in similar ESDIAD patterns as obtained from O₂ adsorption.     

100keV质子与低高能质子在绝缘微孔中输运特性的对比分析

Stimulated desorption from CO chemisorbed on Cr(110)

Electron stimulated desorption (ESD) experiments using a time-of-flight pulse counting method are reported for molecular CO chemisorbed on the Cr(110) surface at 90 K. Consistent with previous qualitative observations, negligible CO⁺ and O⁺ desorption signals were measured from the ₁CO overlayer which saturates at 1/4 monolayer. For θ_CO > 0.25, a terminally-bonded (₂CO) binding mode is populated in addition to the existing ∝₁CO binding mode and the ion yield increases sharply. For ₂CO, both O⁺ and CO⁺ ions are observed; the CO⁺ ions desorb with characteristically lower kinetic energies than O⁺ ions. Near saturation coverages of CO(ads), an observed decrease in the O⁺ yield is attributed to adsorbate-adsorbate interactions which reduce the ion desorption probability, as seen in ESD studies of terminally-bonded CO on other metals. These results are considered in the context of two possible models proposed for the ₁CO binding state and related ESD observations for CO chemisorbed on Fe(001) and potassium-promoted Ru(001).

Quantum-resolved angular distributions of neutral products in electron-stimulated processes: desorption of CO from Pt(111)

The first quantum-resolved angular distribution measurements of electronically-excited neutral molecules which have undergone electron stimulated desorption (ESD) are presented. Two-dimensional imaging of laser resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) is used to obtain angular distributions of CO^* in the v=0 vibrational level of the metastable a³Π_r state desorbed from CO/Pt(111) by 350 eV electrons. For saturation CO coverages at 90 K, sharp Gaussian distributions peaked about the surface normal (6° ± 0.5° half-width at half maximum) are observed, consistent with previously reported data acquired by ESDIAD (ESD ion angular distributions). The (1 + 1) photon REMPI scheme for state-specific CO^* detection involves the b³Σ(v = 0) ← a³Π(v = 0) transition at 283 nm, followed by photoionization at the same wavelength. In this paper, the overall experimental technique for REMPI imaging of products from electron stimulated processes is discussed. Thus specific CO^* data as a function of coverage and temperature is presented for comparison with the ESDIAD results.     

Observation and study of latent tracks on the surface of HOPG induced by H ions

The topography and size of damage on the surface of HOPG (Highly Oriented Pyrolitic Graphite) bombarded by high fluence (1×10¹⁶ ions/cm²) of H⁺ ions were observed and studied. In this work, 457 STM images of each one with 9×9 nm² area were obtained. From 163 of these pictures visible damage was found. In these 163 STM images the diameter of most damage is from 0.2 to 0.8 nm. In this study the number density of visible damage is much less than the ion fluence. The probability of damage is only about 1.8×10⁻⁴. The possible mechanism of damage formation is also analyzed and discussed.     

Structure of the ground states in the isotope substituted H3 molecular ions

The bound state properties and general structure of some H⁺₃-like molecular ions are determined from the results of direct numerical computations. All our calculations are performed with the use of non-adiabatic variational expansion written in the basis of five-body (= ten-dimensional) gaussoids. A large number of geometrical properties and expectation values of many inter-particle delta-functions are presented for the H₂D⁺, H₂T⁺, D₂H⁺, D₂T⁺, T₂H⁺, T₂D⁺ and HDT⁺ two-electron five-body ions. The problem of inter-particle correlations in five-body systems and related problem of adiabatic divergence in the H⁺₃-like ions are also briefly discussed.     

Kinetic energy distributions and momentum resolved ESDIAD measurements of CO ions and excited neutral CO* molecules — CO/Cu(110)

We report for the first time a coincidence of the kinetic energy distributions of the ionic and excited neutral forms of a desorbing species produced by electron impact. By using a novel TOF-ESDIAD instrument and applying different accelerating voltages between the sample and the detector it was possible to separate CO⁺ from neutral CO* species by their flight times and to perform momentum-resolved ESDIAD measurements of the O⁺, CO⁺ and neutral CO* species. Two possible desorption scenarios are discussed.     

ESDIAD studies of fluorine and chlorine adsorption at Si(100)

Electron stimulated desorption ion angular distribution (ESDIAD) patterns are reported for fluorine and chlorine adsorbed at the silicon (100) surface. Analytical and numerical methods of establishing the degree of angular compression imposed by the sample bias frequently employed in ESDIAD measurements, are described. Measurements of the two halogen adsorbates contrast strongly, particularly with regard to their response to annealing in the temperature range 300 to 1000 K. In the case of F⁺ desorption, a minimum in ion intensity occurs along the surface normal. Maxima in the ion production are observed at a polar angle of 30°, and in registry with the principal crystal axes as reported by other workers. Cl⁺ ion angular distributions however, indicate a mixture of normal and off-normal emission for adsorption at ≤ 300 K. This pattern transforms, irreversibly, to a single maximum directed along the surface normal in response to annealing to 650 K. The transformation is linked to the thermal depopulation of one adsorption state, leaving a higher binding energy state intact.     

Associated Productions of HZZ and HHZ at Linear Colliders in Large Extra Dimension Model

In this paper we investigate the effects of the large extra dimensions on the two processes e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ and e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ at linear colliders in both unpolarized and polarized collision modes. We find that the virtual Kaluza-Klein graviton exchange can significantly enhance the cross section from their standard model expectations for these two processes. The results show that the LED effect on the process e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ allows the observation limits on the effective scale M_S to be probed up to 9.75 TeV and 10.1 TeV in the unpolarized and +-(λ_e⁺=1/2, λ_e^-=-1/2) polarized beam collision modes (with P_e⁺=0.6, P_e^-=0.8), respectively. For the process e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰, these limits on M_S can be probed up to 6.06 TeV and 6.38 TeV in the unpolarized and polarized collision modes separately. We find that the λ_e⁺=1/2, λ_e^-=-1/2 polarization collision mode in both process e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ and e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ may provide a possibility to improve the sensitivity in probing the LED effects.     

Mechanism of defect evolution in H+ and He+ implanted InP

The defect evolution in InP with the 75 keV H⁺ and 115 keV He⁺ implantation at room temperature after subsequent annealing has been investigated in detail. With the same ion implantation fluence, the He⁺ implantation caused much broader damage distribution accompanied by much higher out-of-plane strain with respect to the H⁺ implanted InP. After annealing, the H⁺ implanted InP did not show any blistering or exfoliation on the surface even at the high fluence and the H₂ molecules were stored in the heterogeneously oriented platelet defects. However, the He molecules were stored into the large bubbles which relaxed toward the free surface, creating blisters at the high fluence.
