The scattering of He from adsorbed layers of gases on Ag(110)

The adsorption of gases on Ag(110) has been studied using inelastic He atom scattering. Vibrational spectra have been obtained for Kr, Xe, C₂H₆, C₂H₄, CH₄, CF₄, CHF₃, CO₂ and H₂O. Spectra have also been obtained for multilayers of Xe (2 layers) and C₂H₆ (3 and 4 layers) where the energy changes move to lower values. The scattering from Kr and Xe can be shown to be dispersionless as has been previously found for these adsorbates on Cu(100) and Cu(110). The energy changes for Kr and Xe are smaller than on Cu surfaces and attempts were made to account for this based on an Einstein model of the adsorbed atoms in the surface holding potential.     

A Raman spectroscopic study of the polyimide/Ag(110) interface

We have investigated the bonding of the monomers pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and oxydianiline (ODA) and their subsequent polymerization to form polyimide on Ag(110) in ultrahigh vacuum. Unenhanced surface Raman spectroscopy was used to identify adsorbed species and to follow the polymerization reaction. ODA was unreactive on the cold (140 K) surface; spectral features were identical to those in the condensed multilayer indicating that the monolayer is physisorbed. PMDA, on the other hand, adsorbed dissociatively, the evidence being consistent with a bidentate surface carboxylate mode of bonding. Finally, heating a 30 Å film of codosed monomers to 473 K resulted in the formation of a polyimide film as shown by characteristic features in the carbonyl stretching region of the Raman spectrum.     

Trends in surface roughening: analysis of ion-sputtered GaAs(110)

The effects of diffusion kinetics on surface roughness were investigated by measuring the dependence of surface width and step density on the amount of material removed for GaAs(110) sputtered at different temperatures (T). Surfaces after the removal of ten monolayers of material at 625 K were rougher on a small scale than those at 725 K, but they were smoother on a large scale. The increased large-scale roughness at high T was caused by increased diffusion on terraces and along step-edges, but insufficient cross-step transport. The high step-density created at low T enhanced cross-step transport. This mechanism, first proposed for the re-entrant layer-by-layer growth, is expected to cause the long-range roughness to increase with T for many solid surfaces after substantial sputtering or deposition over a certain range of T.     

Ag(110)表面吸附酞菁铜分子的紫外光电子谱研究

用紫外光电子能谱(UPS)研究了酞菁铜分子在Ag(110)单晶表面上的吸附，随着酞菁铜分子覆盖度增加，衬底Ag的3d电子信号逐渐减弱，在此能带区域出现两个新的谱峰，这两个与吸附有机分子轨道有关的谱峰的束缚能分别为4.45 和6.36 eV.随着覆盖度的增加，在结合能为1.51和9.20 eV处又出现了两个谱峰，它们同样来自吸附有机分子的轨道.随着覆盖度的继续增加，上述四个谱峰的强度逐渐增加，其能量位置均发生了明显的偏移.根据角分辨光电子能谱的实验结果，酞菁铜分子的分子平面基本与衬底表面平行.密度泛函理论计

High-resolution photoemission from Ag(100), Ag(110), and Ag(111)

Energy distribution curves of photoelectrons emitted normal to (100), (110), and (111) faces of silver have been obtained at photon energies of 21.22, 16.85, and 11.83 eV. The results are compared with Christensen's relativistic band structure calculation of bulk silver yielding a close correspondence between experiment and theory. A surface state in the L gap immediately below the Fermi level is identified.     

Chemisorption of CO on Cu(100), Ag(110) and Au(110)

The adsorption of CO on Cu, Ag and Au is studied using core and valence photoemission, X-ray absorption and autoionization of core excited states. The purpose is to investigate the nature of the adsorption bond starting out from the well-established chemisorption system CO/Cu(100)-c(2 × 2), and from the results we suggest that CO forms chemisorbed phases also on Ag(110) and Au(110). The photoemission spectra show strong shake-up satellites both for the valence levels and the core levels. The separation to the satellite appearing closest to the main line is observed to follow the position of the substrate d-band relative to the Fermi level. The CO adsorption strength for the noble metals is deduced to decrease in the order Cu-Au-Ag. This is based on the widths of the XA resonances, which are related to the adsorbate-substrate interaction strength of the core excited states, and the relative shake-up intensities, which are expected to increase with a decreasing adsorption strength in the ground state. The same trends regarding the shake-up intensities are observed both for the valence and core levels.
