ADSORPTION BEHAVIOR OF AMINO ACIDS ON COPPER SURFACES

The major results of a series of our recent investigations on the adsorption of eight amino acids on Cu(001) and (111) surfaces are reviewed in the present paper. In all studied cases the molecules adsorb onto the surface in their anionic form. With the increase of the coverage three different 2D phases of the adsorbates, that is, the 2D lattice gas, intermediate, and solid phases, appear sequentially, although for few systems one or two of them do not appear. In both the 2D lattice gas and intermediate phases the molecules "stand" with their two oxygen "feet" on the surface and the intermolecular interactions are repulsive, although in the former they can diffuse frequently whereas in the latter they are discommensurate in one direction with the substrate. In the solid phase the molecules "lie" down on the surface to form commensurate superstructures. Adsorption of amino acids may often induce step faceting as well as bunching to form facets. Adsorption of L-lysine on Cu(001) may cause steps bunching to form facets with all the same chirality. Our preliminary results show that it is possible to manipulate individual molecules with the STM tip even at room temperature. These results may have applications in nano-materials, nano-technology, and very likely also in chiral separations or enantioselective heterogeneous catalysis.     

甘氨酸在Cu(111)表面吸附的扫描隧道显微镜研究

用超高真空扫描隧道显微镜(UHV-STM)研究了室温下甘氨酸在Cu(111)表面的吸附行为.实验发现,在低覆盖度下甘氨酸分子在表面表现为二维气体.当覆盖度足够高时,甘氨酸分子最终会形成二维固相结构,为(4×8)超结构.针对这种结构提出了两种可能的结构模型,模型能够很好地解释STM图.当覆盖度介于气相和固相之间时,根据蒸镀条件和退火条件的不同,表面可能出现两种不同的中间相,一种为条纹结构,另一种为六角结构,对于中间相有待于进一步的研究 关键词： 表面吸附 甘氨酸 铜 扫描隧道显微术     

高压下六方TaSi_2晶体基于结构稳定性的电学输运性质（英文）

作为一类稳定的低电阻及高温材料,二硅化钽(TaSi_2)被广泛应用于集成电路中。因此,其电学稳定性和结构稳定性同样重要。报导了高压下六方TaSi_2晶体基于结构稳定性的电学输运性质。通过同步辐射X射线衍射和拉曼光谱实验研究了TaSi_2晶体在压力高达20GPa时稳定的结晶学结构,并通过原位高压电阻测量发现,当压力增加到16.3GPa时,TaSi_2的电阻率趋于稳定在2μΩ·cm左右;进一步理论计算了压力下TaSi_2的电子结构,以进一步理解其金属性行为。
