单层 FeO 薄膜表面周期性氧缺陷结构的形成

 采用扫描隧道显微镜和 X 射线光电子能谱对含有次表层 Fe 的 Pt 表皮结构 (Pt skin), 即 0.4 ML Fe 的 Pt/Fe/Pt(111) 表面, 在 1.1 × 10?7 kPa 氧气气氛退火过程中的变化进行了研究. 结果表明, 当退火温度为 600 K 时, 氧气在 Pt/Fe/Pt(111) 表面上解离吸附并诱导表面局域结构的重构; 750 K 时次表层 Fe 可以扩散到表面并被氧化; 当升至 850 K 时, 在样品表面形成单层 FeO 结构, 并且 FeO 表面具有周期性的缺陷. 这种缺陷是由于单层 FeO 薄膜的摩尔条纹单胞中 fcc 位上一个或多个氧原子缺失形成的, 其中多原子空位被确定为缺失 6 个氧原子所致. FeO 表面缺陷结构的研究为理解 Fe-Pt 催化剂在氧化气氛中的结构稳定性以及构造表面活性位提供一定的基础.

Formation of Periodic Arrays of O Vacancy Clusters on Monolayer FeO Islands Grown on Pt(111)

The structural evolution of a Pt surface with 0.4 monolayer (ML) subsurface Fe on annealing in 1.1 × 10?7 kPa O2 was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. When the annealing temperature was 600 K, only dissociative adsorption of O2 occurred, which induced the local restructuring of surface regions. At 750 K, subsurface Fe atoms segregated onto the surface and were oxidized. When the annealing temperature was increased to 850 K, well defined monolayer FeO islands with periodic arrays of defects were formed. The defects were located at the hexagonal closest packed sites (fcc) of FeO Moiré unit cells and were either single oxygen vacancies or multiple oxygen vacancies consisting of six missing O atoms. The formation of periodic defects on monolayer FeO islands may be a way to construct active sites on Pt-Fe model catalysts.
