Reversible switching of single tin phthalocyanine molecules on the InAs(111)A surface

Individual tin phthalocyanine (SnPc) molecules adsorbed on the InAs(111)A surface were studied by low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) at 5?K. Consistently with the nonplanar molecular structure, SnPc adopts two in-plane adsorption geometries with the centre Sn atom either above (SnPc(up)) or below (SnPc(down)) the molecular plane. Depending on the current and bias applied to the tunnel junction, the molecule can be reversibly switched between the two conformations, implying a controlled transfer of the Sn atom through the molecular plane. The SnPc(down) conformer is characterized by an enhanced surface bonding as compared to the SnPc(up) conformer. SnPc(up) molecules can be repositioned by the STM tip by means of lateral manipulation, whereas this is not feasible for SnPc(down) molecules. The reversible switching process thus enables one to either laterally move the molecule or anchor it to the semiconductor surface.     

Characterization of ultra-thin organic hetero-interfaces — SnPc/PTCDA/Ag(111)

Ultra-thin organic hetero-layers consisting of tin-phthalocyanine (SnPc) and 1,3,4,8-perylen-tetracarboxylicacid dianhydride (PTCDA) adsorbed on a Ag(111) surface are characterized with photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. If SnPc is deposited on the Ag(111) substrate, which is precovered with one monolayer of PTCDA, a well defined interface is formed with a closed SnPc wetting layer as can be derived from angle dependent core level and from valence photoelectron spectra. Moreover, X-ray absorption data show that the molecules are lying flat and that the bonding at the SnPc/PTCDA interface is weak.     

Adsorbed molecular shuttlecocks: An NIXSW study of Sn phthalocyanine on Ag(1 1 1) using Auger electron detection

Normal incidence X-ray standing wave (NIXSW) spectroscopy has been used to determine the orientation of Sn phthalocyanine (SnPc) molecules in a highly ordered, but incommensurate, monolayer on the Ag(1 1 1) surface. Our sample preparation procedure differs from that used in previous work on this system [C. Stadler, S. Hansen, F. Pollinger, C. Kumpf, E. Umbach, T.-L. Lee, J. Zegenhagen, Phys. Rev. B 74 (2006) 035404] and leads to a different unit cell with basis vector lengths of ∼15.0 Å and 15.3 Å (γ = 98°) which is oriented at an angle of ∼5° to the underlying Ag(1 1 1) lattice. Structural parameters extracted from Sn MNN NIXSW spectra indicate that SnPc, a buckled, ‘shuttlecock’ phthalocyanine, adsorbs in a Sn-down geometry with the Sn atom approximately 2.3 Å above the Ag(1 1 1) surface plane. Despite the incommensurate nature of the overlayer, we find a surprisingly high coherent fraction for standing wave data taken for the reflection and argue that this arises from the small domain size of the superstructure.     

DFT calculations of adenine adsorption on coin metal (1 1 0) surfaces

Density functional theory is used to analyze in detail the adsorption of the adenine molecule on the (1 1 0) surfaces of Cu, Ag, and Au. While the adsorption configurations are similar in all three cases – the molecule bonds via two nitrogen atoms to the substrate – the details like charge transfer or local strain a rather different. The molecule–substrate interaction in case of Cu is stronger than for the more noble metals Ag and Au. Longe-range dispersion forces stabilize the adsorption configuration in dependence on the specific adsorption geometry. In case of Ag and Au, relativistic effects are found to be important.     

Electronic states of a C70 monolayer on the surface of Ag(111)

We have investigated the electronic states of a C(70) monolayer on the surface of Ag(111) (1 ML C(70)/Ag(111)) using synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy and soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy techniques. The experimental data exhibit metallic properties and at least 2.6 e(-) charge transfer per C(70) molecule. The screening effect of Ag(111) on the electronic structure of C(70) is remarkable; it greatly reduces or even eliminates the on-site Hubbard energy. The work functions of the C(70) multilayer and monolayer are determined as 4.53 eV and 4.52 eV respectively. The energy levels of C(70) align with the Fermi level of the Ag(111) substrate, and the shift of the vacuum level caused by C(70) adsorption is negligible. Potassium doping indicates that 1 ML C(70)/Ag(111) can still accommodate about nine electrons and that the sample remains metallic at any doping level.     

Chlorine adsorption on the low index surfaces of silver: Energetics and structures

The interaction of Cl₂ with Ag single crystal surfaces has been studied over a range of crystal temperature and gas pressure. Observations have been made for the (111), (100) and (110) surfaces. Measured adsorption isobars for Ag(100) were used to obtain isosteric heats of adsorption; values ranged from ~ ?60 kcal/mole (of Cl₂) at low coverage to ~ ?70 kcal/mole near saturation. The structure formed by Cl₂ adsorption on (100) is believed to be a simple overlayer. For (110) and (111) the values obtained for the heat of adsorption were ~ ?55 kcal/mole. On Ag(111) an epitaxially oriented AgCl(111) is believed to form.     

Adsorption configurations of carbon monoxide on gold monolayer supported by graphene or monolayer hexagonal boron nitride: a first-principles study

Using density functional theory with a semiempirical van der Waals approach proposed by Grimme, the adsorption behavior of carbon monoxide on a gold monolayer supported by graphene or monolayer hexagonal boron nitride has been investigated. Based on the changes in the Dirac cone of graphene and a Bader charge analysis, we observe that the Au(111) monolayer gains a small charge from graphene and monolayer h-BN. The adsorbed CO molecule adopts similar adsorption configurations on Au(111)/graphene and Au(111)/h-BN with Au-C distance 2.17?2.50 Å and Au-C-O angle of 123.9°–139.6°. Moreover, we found that for low CO coverages, bonding to the gold surface is surprisingly energy-favorable. Yet the CO adsorption binding energy diminishes at high coverage due to the repulsive van der Waals interactions between CO molecules.     

Silver‐capped silicon nanopillar platforms for adsorption studies of folic acid using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory

The study of the interactions of folic acid (FA) with surface enhanced Raman scattering substrates is relevant for understanding its adsorption mechanism and for fabricating analytical devices for detection of malignant cells over‐expressing folate receptors. This paper presents a study of the adsorption of FA on silver‐capped silicon nanopillar substrates employing surface enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The experimentally observed vibrations from free FA and FA bound to the Ag surface display different vibrational spectra indicating chemical interaction of the molecule with the metal surface. Density functional theory calculations show that the Ag–FA interaction is primarily through the nitrogen from the pteridine ring anchoring to the Ag metal surface. To investigate the Ag–FA binding behavior further, the adsorption isotherm of FA on the silver‐capped silicon nanopillar surface is estimated. The results show a positive cooperative Ag–FA binding mechanism. That is, adsorbed FA increases the affinity of new incoming FA molecules. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

铝和银在铱（111）宽范围吸附的稳定性、原子构型及电子特性研究

利用第一性原理密度泛函理论研究了铝和银在铱的111面的宽范围吸附特性。基于密度泛函理论计算了覆盖度在0.11ML到2.00ML的结构稳定性、原子构型及平均结合能。对于铝原子在铱111面的吸附,最稳定的结构是铝原子覆盖度为0.5ML位于密堆六方空位（hcp-hollow）,相应的结合能为-4.68eV;对于亚层铝原子的吸附,最稳定结构是铝原子覆盖度为1.00ML时位于octahedral位置,相应的结合能为-5.28eV。对于覆盖度为2.00ML的满覆盖度混合结构的表层及亚层吸附,最稳定结构是Al位于六方密堆及八方密堆位置,相应的结合能为-4.70eV。这意味着当铝原子以满覆盖度吸附在铱的111面上时,趋向于在铱的111面的亚层形成化学键,而非吸附于表层。相比于铝吸附在铱111面,银的吸附特性呈现出很大的不同,面心位置更为稳定,在覆盖度为0.25ML时其结合能为3.89eV,略微高出密堆六方位置处3.88eV的结合能。
