The adsorption of carbon monoxide on the Pt{110} surface at coverages of 0.5 ML and 1.0 ML was investigated using quantitative low-energy electron diffraction (LEED IV) and density-functional theory (DFT). At 0.5 ML CO lifts the reconstruction of the clean surface but does not form an ordered overlayer. At the saturation coverage, 1.0 ML, a well-ordered p(2 × 1) superstructure with glide line symmetry is formed. It was confirmed that the CO molecules adsorb on top of the Pt atoms in the top-most substrate layer with the molecular axes tilted by ± 22° with respect to the surface normal in alternating directions away from the close packed rows of Pt atoms. This is accompanied by significant lateral shifts of 0.55 Å away from the atop sites in the same direction as the tilt. The top-most substrate layer relaxes inwards by ? 4% with respect to the bulk-terminated atom positions, while the consecutive layers only show minor relaxations. Despite the lack of long-range order in the 0.5 ML CO layer it was possible to determine key structural parameters by LEED IV using only the intensities of the integer-order spots. At this coverage CO also adsorbs on atop sites with the molecular axis closer to the surface normal (< 10°). The average substrate relaxations in each layer are similar for both coverages and consistent with DFT calculations performed for a variety of ordered structures with coverages of 1.0 ML and 0.5 ML.  相似文献

The adsorption of 3-ethynyl-trifluoro-toluene (ETFT) on Si(100)-2 × 1 surface in ultra high vacuum is studied in the low coverage regime, through a joint experimental and theoretical approach. The STM images of both filled and empty states revealed few distinct adsorption configurations. On the basis of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations the STM images were simulated and three main adsorption configurations were identified, with a predominance of di-sigma bonded species that leave the benzene ring unreacted. A discussion of the reactivity of the reconstructed silicon surface towards benzene derivatives is proposed by comparing the adsorption of ETFT close related molecules, like styrene and phenylacetylene.  相似文献

Using the experimental data obtained mainly with the scanning tunneling microscopy observations, density functional theory calculations have been applied to examine an atomic structure of the Ag/Si(100)-c(6 × 2) reconstruction. A set of structural models has been proposed having a similar Si(100) substrate reconstruction which incorporates rows of top Si atom dimers and troughs in between the rows. Stability of about twenty models with various Ag coverage ranging from 1/6 to 1 ML has been tested, that allows reducing the number of plausible models to four. Two of these four models have been attributed to the “regular” intrinsic Ag/Si(100)-c(6 × 2) reconstruction, while the other two to its defect-induced modification. The latter is observed in the local areas near defects and domain boundaries and exhibits 3 × 2 periodicity. Comparing the results of calculations with the experimental STM images, it has been concluded that while the Si(100) substrate reconstruction is solid, the Ag subsystem is flexible due to the presence of the lightly bonded mobile Ag atoms.  相似文献

Tin (Sn) induced (1 × 2) reconstructions on GaAs(100) and InAs(100) substrates have been studied by low energy electron diffraction (LEED), photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and ab initio calculations. The comparison of measured and calculated STM images and surface core-level shifts shows that these surfaces can be well described with the energetically stable building blocks that consist of Sn–III dimers. Furthermore, a new Sn-induced (1 × 4) reconstruction was found. In this reconstruction the occupied dangling bonds are closer to each other than in the more symmetric (1 × 2) reconstruction, and it is shown that the (1 × 4) reconstruction is stabilized as the adatom size increases.  相似文献

The chemisorption of isocyanate (NCO) species on Pd(1 0 0) was studied within the density functional formalism (DFT) using a periodic slab model. The NCO was adsorbed on top, bridge and hollow sites of the metal surface at different coverages. At low coverages, the adsorption energies are in the range of ?2.5/?3.0 eV, indicating an important adsorbate–substrate interaction for the three sites studied. The lateral repulsive interaction between neighboring NCO species is almost negligible or weak at lower and intermediate coverages, and very strong at complete monolayer. At low coverages, both bridge and hollow sites are energetically preferred; yet the bridge site becomes the only favoured site at intermediate and complete coverages. Work function and dipole moment calculations can be interpreted by an important charge transfer from the metal surface to NCO. Interestingly, while on hollow site the charge taken by NCO is essentially the same over all the range of coverage, an increasing depolarization is observed on bridge and top sites as the coverage increases. Symmetric and asymmetric NCO stretching modes were also calculated and compared with recent infrared spectroscopy measurements.  相似文献

We present an STM study on the domain pattern formation of the Cu(110)–O surface. We found that the separation of the oxygen adsorbate phase into the domain pattern is consistent with a phenomenological model of size-dependent elastic relaxation of the strained surface. We developed a thermally assisted oxygen adsorption procedure aiming to control the size of the two-dimensional (2 × 1)–O islands nucleated at the surface under oxygen adsorption serving as precursors for domain pattern formation. We engineered wide range tuneable (2 × 1)–O domain patterns by controlling the nuclei size and the oxygen coverage at the pattern formation stage.  相似文献

The adsorption and reconstruction of strong electron-acceptor TCNE on the Si(001)-(2 × 1) surface are investigated by density functional theory (DFT). The results show that TCNE prefers to adsorb on the trench between two adjacent dimer rows and the CC double bond is parallel to dimer rows. Charge density difference calculation and Bader charge analysis indicate that abundant negative charge transfers from dimer Si to TCNE. Strong interaction makes it difficult for TCNE to move on Si(001), which is confirmed by nudged elastic band (NEB) analysis. In addition, the correlations between simulated STM images and molecular orbitals are discussed and two surface reconstructions of (2 × 1) and (4 × 2) are predicted at different TCNE coverages.  相似文献

The adsorption of coronene (C24H12) on the Si(1 1 1)-(7 × 7) surface is studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Upon room temperature submonolayer deposition, we find that the coronene molecules preferentially adsorb on the unfaulted half of the 7 × 7 unit cell. Molecules adsorbed on different sites can be induced to move to the preferential sites by the action of the tip in repeated image scans. Imaging of the molecules is strongly bias dependent, and also critically depends on the adsorption site. We analyze the results in terms of differential bonding strength for the different adsorption sites and we identify those substrate atoms which participate in the bonding with the molecule.  相似文献

Interfacial structures of cobalt(II) porphine (CoP) and [2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18‐octaethyl‐21H,23-H-porphine]cobalt(II) (CoOEP) have been studied on Au(111) electrode using electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM), in-situ X-ray diffraction, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption of porphyrins affects the reconstruction of Au(111) surface. The adsorption of CoP causes a lifting of the reconstruction to a complete 1 × 1 structure of Au(111). On CoOEP modified Au(111), the unit cell periodicity of the reconstructed substrate structure expands compared with the √3 × 23 structure of bare Au(111). The same expanded substrate structure was observed on Au(111) modified with OEP without the coordinated Co ion; the coordinated metal ion of the adsorbed porphyrin molecule does not affect the substrate structure. This result indicates that the interaction of conjugated π electrons of porphyrin with the substrate is stronger than that of the coordinated Co ion. In-situ X-ray diffraction and DFT calculation support non-covalent interaction of porphyrins with the Au(111) surface.  相似文献

Chlorine adsorption on Ru(0001) surface has been studied by a combined density functional theory (DFT) and quantitative low energy electron diffraction (LEED) approach. The (√3 × √3)R30°-Cl phase with ΘCl = 1/3 ML and chlorine sitting in fcc sites has been identified by DFT calculations as the most stable chlorine adsorbate structure on Ru(0001) with an adsorption energy of ? 220 kJ/mol. The atomic geometry of (√3 × √3)R30°-Cl was determined by quantitative LEED. The achieved agreement between experimental and simulated LEED data is quantified by a Pendry factor of rP = 0.19 for a fcc adsorption site with a Cl-Ru bond length of 2.52 Å. At chlorine coverages beyond 1/3 ML LEED reveals diffuse diffraction rings, indicating a continuous compression of the hexagonal Cl overlayer with a preferred average Cl–Cl distance of 4.7 Å in the (√3 × √3)R30°-Cl, ΘCl = 1/3 ML phase towards 3.9 Å at saturation coverage of 0.48 ML.  相似文献

The structural and electronic properties of group III rich In0.53Ga0.47As(001) have been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS). At room temperature (300 K), STM images show that the In0.53Ga0.47As(001)–(4 × 2) reconstruction is comprised of undimerized In/Ga atoms in the top layer. Quantitative comparison of the In0.53Ga0.47As(001)–(4 × 2) and InAs(001)–(4 × 2) shows the reconstructions are almost identical, but In0.53Ga0.47As(001)–(4 × 2) has at least a 4× higher surface defect density even on the best samples. At low temperature (77 K), STM images show that the most probable In0.53Ga0.47As(001) reconstruction is comprised of one In/Ga dimer and two undimerized In/Ga atoms in the top layer in a double (4 × 2) unit cell. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations at elevated temperature are consistent with the experimentally observed 300 K structure being a thermal superposition of three structures. DFT molecular dynamics (MD) show the row dimer formation and breaking is facilitated by the very large motions of tricoodinated row edge As atoms and z motion of In/Ga row atoms induced changes in As–In/Ga–As bond angles at elevated temperature. STS results show there is a surface dipole or the pinning states near the valence band (VB) for 300 K In0.53Ga0.47As(001)–(4 × 2) surface consistent with DFT calculations. DFT calculations of the band-decomposed charge density indicate that the strained unbuckled trough dimers being responsible for the surface pinning.  相似文献

Atomic scale images and low energy electron diffraction pattern of a MoO2(100) single crystal surface are presented, which show different structural modifications depending on surface preparation. A short in-situ heat treatment of the as-grown single crystal results in an atomically ordered surface whose diffraction pattern and STM images are consistent with those expected from the bulk structure. The symmetry of the STM images suggests an oxygen termination of the surface. A significantly longer heat treatment causes a thermodynamically stable (4 × 1) reconstruction which is interpreted to be due to a loss of oxygen chains. The (4 × 1) reconstruction vanishes after Ar-ion-sputtering and subsequent annealing. Additional long sputtering cycles result in a (2 × 1) reconstruction. The observed surface reconstructions can be transformed into each other by heating or sputtering cycles.  相似文献

By combined investigation of STM and synchrotron PES on Ge/Si(5 5 12)-2 × 1 at 530 °C, it has been found that, in addition to the upward-relaxed surface Si atoms, a subsurface Si atom is also readily replaced by an arriving Ge atom at the initial adsorption stage. Such enhanced interdiffusion is due to a unique character of one-dimensional chain structures of the reconstructed substrate, such as π-bonded and honeycomb chains not existing on other low-index Si surfaces such as Si(001)-c(4 × 2) and Si(111)-7 × 7, applying a tensile surface stress to the neighbouring subsurface atoms. Interdiffusion of Ge having lower surface energy induces adsorption of the displaced Si atoms on the surface to form sawtooth-like facets composed of (113)/(335) and (113)/(112) with arriving Ge atoms until the surface is filled with those facets. Such displacive adsorption is the origin of high Si concentration of formed facets.  相似文献

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 1-octanethiol (OT) on Au(111) surfaces, prepared at immersion temperatures between 300 K and 363 K in a sealed stainless steel chamber, were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). An oblique (√3 × √3)R30° OT-SAM structure was observed below 348 K, whereas a superstructure (3×√7)R11° covered the gold surfaces at 363 K. The highly resolved STM images permitted assignment of four symmetry-inequivalent OT molecules per 8.7 × 7.6 Å2 unit cell at 363 K. Differences in the topographical heights of the molecules were attributed to the binding of OT sulfur head groups at different adsorption sites on Au(111). This structure was not observed in stirring reflux at a high temperature, which indicates a higher pressure (> 1 atm) in the chamber may be one of crucial factors for structural transition. As the immersion temperature increased, a lower density of vacancy islands and a higher fraction of island area were observed.  相似文献

The surface structure of Ni2P (101?0), a model for highly active hydrodesulfurization catalysts, was studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) in order to understand the reconstruction of the surface layers. Annealing at 573 K revealed a (1 × 1) LEED pattern which changed to a c(2 × 4) arrangement by further heating to 723 K. Atomic scale STM images were obtained for both the (1 × 1) and c(2 × 4) structures. Bright spots observed in the STM images were interpreted to be due to surface phosphorus atoms and this was supported by a density functional theory (DFT) simulation. Several possible models for the c(2 × 4) reconstructed structures were proposed including a P-dimer defect model, a missing-row model and a missing-row + added-row model. The last model gave the best explanation for the c(2 × 4)structure. The mechanism for the c(2 × 4) reconstruction on the Ni2P (101?0) surface is discussed.  相似文献

The influence of the (2 × 1)O reconstruction on the growth of Ag on a Cu(110) surface was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). On the bare Cu(110) surface, Stranski–Krastanov growth of silver is observed at sample temperatures between 277 K and 500 K: The formation of a Ag wetting layer is followed by the growth of three-dimensional Ag wires. In contrast, on the oxygen-precovered Cu(110) surface, the growth of silver depends heavily on the substrate temperature. Upon Ag deposition at room temperature, a homogeneous, polycrystalline Ag layer is observed, whereas at 500 K, three-dimensional wires separated by (2 × 1)O reconstructed areas are formed. The behavior of a deposited Ag layer upon annealing is also influenced greatly by the presence of oxygen. On the bare surface, annealing does not change the Ag wetting layer and gives rise to Ostwald ripening of the Ag wires. On the oxygen-precovered surface, however, the initial polycrystalline Aglayer first transforms into Ag wires at around 500 K. Above this temperature, the depletion of the (2 × 1)O reconstructed areas due to Ag-induced O desorption is balanced by the formation of a Ag wetting layer. On both, the bare and the oxygen-precovered Cu(110) surface, the deposited silver diffuses into the Cu bulk at temperatures above 700 K.  相似文献

We present a detailed scanning tunneling microscopy investigation of ultra-thin Bi films on Ge(111)-c(2 × 8) in the range up to 1.5 ML. During growth at 300 K, the second/third atomic layer of Bi already starts to nucleate before the completion of the first/second layer correspondingly. Laterally isolated first layer Bi atoms, clusters and islands posses no electronic states in the range ~ 0.5 eV above the Fermi level of the substrate. In contrast, metallic electronic properties are found for continuous films when Bi coverage nears 1 ML. Annealing the as-deposited Bi films at 450 K causes lateral redistribution of Bi due to surface diffusion: coarsening of two-dimensional Bi islands with no long range order in the adsorbate layer is observed up to 1 ML; long range ordered (√3 × √3)-Bi/Ge(111) interface plus three-dimensional Bi clusters are obtained for coverages in excess of 1 ML.  相似文献

The electronic states of submonolayers and multilayers of cobalt(II) phthalocyanine (CoPc) adsorbed on Ag(111) were examined with photoelectron spectroscopy to obtain insight into the details of the substrate–adsorbate interaction. UV photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) reveals the presence of two interaction-related valence states in the direct vicinity of the Fermi edge, in agreement with previous DFT calculations. X-ray photoelectron spectra indicate that the substrate–adsorbate interaction results in transfer of electron density from the substrate to the Co(II) ion. Substantial changes in the Co 2p multiplet structure, a spectral pattern induced by the open-shell character of the central Co(II) ion, indicate a complete quenching of the molecular spin. While pristine CoPc molecules are paramagnetic with S = 1/2, molecules in direct contact to the Ag(111) substrate appear to be in a diamagnetic state.  相似文献

The role of water adsorption on Ti-rich SrTiO3(001) surface reconstructions is studied. Density functional calculations with hybrid functionals of numerous adsorption configurations indicate that the relative stability of the different reconstructions is strongly altered by the addition of water, with all the reconstructions having comparable energy for half-monolayer coverage, most with a fair degree of hydrogen bonding. This strongly suggests that which reconstruction is observed depends upon a competition between the kinetics of ordering and dehydration. X-ray photoelectron spectra are consistent with the theoretical predictions for the dehydration of the 2 × 1 and c(4 × 2) reconstructions.  相似文献

We have investigated the energetics and the atomic structure of the adsorption of Sc on the Si(001)-c(2 × 4) surface using first principles total energy calculations, within the periodic density functional. The Sc adsorption has been studied at high symmetry sites considering different concentrations. We have first explored the one atom case and then increased the coverage up to a 0.25 of a monolayer of Sc. For the adsorption of one Sc atom we have obtained that the most stable configuration corresponds to the adsorption in the trench between two Si dimers, at the C1 (cave) site. The interaction of the adsorbed Sc with the Si dimers induces a decrease of the dimers buckling amplitude. On the other hand Si dimers without interaction with the adsorbate have buckling amplitudes similar to those of the clean Si surface. When the Sc coverage is increased to two Sc atoms, the most stable structure corresponds to the adsorption at two consecutive V (valley-bridge) sites along the trench between Si dimers, resulting in the weakening of some of the Si dimers bonds. This result indicates that the formation of one dimensional Sc chains on the silicon surface is energetically and kinetically favorable.  相似文献
