The structure, stoichiometry and electronic properties of the GaAs(0 0 1)-(2 × 4)/c(2 × 8) surface treated by cycles of atomic hydrogen (AH) exposure and subsequent annealing in UHV were studied with the aim of preparing the Ga-rich surface at low temperatures. Low energy electron diffraction showed reproducible structural transformations in each cycle: AH adsorption at the (2 × 4)/c(2 × 8) surface led to the (1 × 4) structure at low AH exposure and to a (1 × 1) surface at higher AH exposure with subsequent restoration of the (2 × 4)/c(2 × 8) structure under annealing at 450 °C. The cycles of AH treatment preserved the atomic flatness of the GaAs(1 0 0) surface, keeping the mean roughness on to about 0.15 nm. The AH treatment cycles led to the oscillatory behavior of 3dAs/3dGa ratio with a gradual decrease to the value characteristic for the Ga-rich surface. Similar oscillatory variations were observed in the work function. The results are consistent with the loss of As from the surface as a result of the desorption of volatile compounds which are formed after reaction with H. The prepared Ga-rich GaAs(0 0 1) surface showed the stability of the (2 × 4)/c(2 × 8) structure up to the annealing temperature of 580 °C. 相似文献

The desorption kinetics of hydrogen from polished 6H-SiC(0 0 0 1) surfaces exposed to various sources of hydrogen have been determined using temperature programmed desorption (TPD). For (3 × 3) 6H-SiC(0 0 0 1) surfaces prepared via annealing and cooling in SiH4, desorption of 0.2 ± 0.05 monolayer of molecular hydrogen was observed to occur at ≈590 °C. This β1 H2 desorption peak exhibited second order kinetics with an activation energy of 2.4 ± 0.2 eV. For (3 × 3) 6H-SiC surfaces exposed to atomic hydrogen generated via either a hot rhenium filament or remote hydrogen plasma, low energy electron diffraction patterns showed an eventual conversion back to (1 × 1) symmetry. Spectra acquired using Auger electron and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies revealed that the atomic hydrogen exposure removed the excess Si. Photoelectron spectroscopy results also showed a 0.5 eV increase in binding energy for the Si2p and C1s core levels after removal of the Si-Si bilayer that is indicative of a decrease in band bending at the SiC surface. TPD from the (3 × 3) 6H-SiC(0 0 0 1) surfaces exposed to atomic hydrogen showed substantially more molecular hydrogen desorption (1-2 ML) through the appearance of a new desorption peak (β2,3) that started at ≈200 °C. The β2,3 peak exhibited second order desorption kinetics and a much lower activation energy of 0.6 ± 0.2 eV. A third smaller hydrogen desorption state was also detected in the 650-850 °C range. This last feature could be resolved into two separate desorption peaks (α1 and α2) both of which exhibited second order kinetics with activation energies of 4.15 ± 0.15 and 4.3 ± 0.15 eV, respectively. Based on comparisons to hydrogen desorption from Si and diamond surfaces, the β and α desorption peaks were assigned to hydrogen desorption from Si and C sites, respectively. 相似文献

Phosphine and tertiarybutylphosphine adsorption on the indium-rich InP (0 0 1)-(2 × 4) surface at 25 °C have been studied by internal reflection infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and low energy electron diffraction. Both molecules form a dative bond to the empty dangling bonds on the In-P heterodimers and the second-layer In-In dimers and vibrate symmetrically at 2319 (2315) and 2285 (2281) cm−1 and asymmetrically at 2339 (2339) and 2327 (2323) cm−1. A fraction of these species dissociate into adsorbed PH2 with the hydrogen and tertiarybutyl ligands transferring to nearby phosphorus sites. The calculated energy barriers for desorption (<11 kcal/mol) of these molecules is less than that for dissociation (>17 kcal/mol) and explains their low sticking probabilities at elevated temperatures under InP growth conditions. 相似文献

The STM technique with a special Bi/W tip was used to study the interaction of hydrogen atoms with the Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 surface. The reactivity of different room temperature (RT) adsorption sites, such as adatoms (A), rest atoms (R), and corner holes (CH) was investigated. The reactivity of CH sites was found to be ∼2 times less than that of R and A sites. At temperatures higher than RT, hydrogen atoms rearrange among A, R, and CH sites, with increased occupation of R sites (T < 300 °C). Further temperature increase leads to hydrogen desorption, where its surface diffusion plays an active role. We discuss one of the possible desorption mechanisms, with the corner holes surrounded by a high potential barrier. Hydrogen atoms have a higher probability to overcome the desorption barrier rather than diffuse either into or out of the corner hole. The desorption temperature of hydrogen from CH, R, and A sites is about the same, equal to ∼500 °C. Also it is shown that hydrogen adsorption on the CH site causes slight electric charge redistribution over neighbouring adatoms, namely, increases the occupation of electronic states on A sites in the unfaulted halves of the Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 unit cell. Based on these findings, the indirect method of investigation with conventional W tips was suggested for adsorbate interaction with CH sites. 相似文献

Two different growth modes of manganese silicide are observed on Si(1 0 0) with scanning tunneling microscopy. 1.0 and 1.5 monolayer Mn are deposited at room temperature on the Si(1 0 0)-(2 × 1) substrate. The as-grown Mn film is unstructured. Annealing temperatures between room temperature and 450 °C lead to small unstructured clusters of Mn or MnxSiy. Upon annealing at 450 °C and 480 °C, Mn reacts chemically with the Si substrate and forms silicide islands. The dimer rows of the substrate become visible again. Two distinct island shapes are found and identified as MnSi and Mn5Si3. 相似文献

Results for deposition and thermal annealing of gallium on the Si(1 0 0)-(2 × 1) surface achieved by synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy (SR-PES) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) are presented. In addition to deposition of Ga on a clean surface, the influence of water adsorption on the arrangement of gallium atoms was also studied. The results on Ga deposition at a higher temperature (490 °C) are consistent with a Ga ad-dimer model showing equivalent bond arrangement of all Ga atoms for coverages up to 0.5 ML. The deposition onto a surface with adsorbed water at room temperature led to a disordered gallium growth. In this case gallium atoms bind to silicon dimers already binding fragments of adsorbed water. A subsequent annealing of these layers leads to a surface structure similar to the Ga-(2 × 2), however, it is less ordered, probably due to the presence of silicon oxides formed from water fragments. 相似文献

The adsorption, desorption and dissociation of ethanol have been investigated by work function, thermal desorption (TPD) and high resolution electron energy loss (HREELS) spectroscopic measurements on Mo2C/Mo(1 0 0). Adsorption of ethanol on this sample at 100 K led to a work function decrease suggesting that the adsorbed layer has a positive outward dipole moment By means of TPD we distinguished three adsorption states, condensed layer with a Tp = 162 K, chemisorbed ethanol with Tp = 346 K and irreversibly bonded species which decomposes to different compounds. These are hydrogen, acetaldehyde, methane, ethylene and CO. From the comparison of the Tp values with those obtained following their adsorption on Mo2C it was inferred that the desorption of methane and ethylene is reaction limited, while that of hydrogen is desorption limited process. HREEL spectra obtained at 100 K indicated that at lower exposure ethanol undergoes dissociation to give ethoxy species, whereas at high exposure molecularly adsorbed ethanol also exists on the surface. Analysis of the spectral changes in HREELS observed for annealed surface assisted to ascertain the reaction pathways of the decomposition of adsorbed ethanol. 相似文献

On metals such as Zr, during hydrogen exposure, dissolution competes with desorption; this competition can be probed by thermal desorption at different heating rates. In the case of desorption from preadsorbed hydrogen, only ∼1% of the hydrogen can be desorbed even at heating rates of >1010 K s−1. Recent measurements of the dynamics of hydrogen released by water dissociation on Zr(0 0 0 1) [G. Bussière, M. Musa, P.R. Norton, K. Griffiths, A.G. Brolo, J.W. Hepburn, J. Chem. Phys. 124 (2006) 124704] have shown that the desorbing hydrogen originates from the recombinative desorption of adsorbed H-atoms and that over 25% of the water collisions lead to hydrogen desorption. To gain further insight into the desorption and dissolution of hydrogen and in an attempt to resolve the paradox of the different desorption yields from H2 vs. H2O exposures, we report new measurements of the laser induced thermal desorption (LITD) of hydrogen from Zr(0 0 0 1) at initial temperatures down to 90 K. The low temperature was chosen because work function measurements suggested that hydrogen adsorbed into only the outermost (surface site) of the two available adsorption sites (surface and subsurface), from which we postulated much more efficient desorption at high heating rates compared to desorption from the sub-surface sites. However, hydrogen desorption by LITD from Zr(0 0 0 1) at 90 K still only accounts for 1% of the adsorbed species, the remainder dissolving into the bulk at LITD heating rates. The different yields alluded to above remain unexplained (Bussière, 2006). 相似文献

In the present work HCl-isopropanol treated and vacuum annealed InP(0 0 1) surfaces were studied by means of low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), soft X-ray photoemission (SXPS), and reflectance anisotropy (RAS) spectroscopies. The treatment removes the natural oxide and leaves on the surface a physisorbed overlayer containing InClx and phosphorus. Annealing at 230 °C induces desorption of InClx overlayer and reveals a P-rich (2 × 1) surface. Subsequent annealing at higher temperature induces In-rich (2 × 4) surface. The structural properties of chemically prepared InP(0 0 1) surfaces were found to be similar to those obtained by decapping of As/P-capped epitaxial layers. 相似文献

The formation and stability of Cu, Ag and Au-induced c(2 × 2) alloys at the Mo(1 0 0) and W(1 0 0) surfaces have been investigated with low-energy electron microscopy and diffraction. The ordered alloys transform to disordered overlayer structures at elevated temperature. Comparison of the transformation temperatures with energetics obtained from first principles calculations reveals the vibrational entropic contribution to the system free energy that defines alloy thermal stability. Effective Debye temperatures for metal adatoms are determined that exhibit the expected mass and bond strength dependence. 相似文献

The morphological change of D2O layers on a Ru(0 0 0 1) surface has been investigated on the basis of He atom scattering. With the increase of D2O exposure on Ru(0 0 0 1) at 111 K, the intensity of a specularly reflected He beam continuously decreases up to the exposure of 1.0 L (Langmuir). At the D2O coverage of 1.0 adsorbed layer (∼1.5 L), which is characterized by temperature-programmed desorption measurements, the formation of the (√3 × √3)R30° superstructure as a result of the diffusion of D2O on the surface was confirmed by He atom diffraction. With the further increase of D2O exposure, at 2-3 adsorbed layers, the disordered structure was found to be on the surface at 111 K. The morphological change of the disordered layers was observed during annealing, and discussed in detail. 相似文献

With the aim of comparing initial Ge adsorption and desorption modes on different surface terminations of 4H-SiC(0 0 0 1) faces, 3 × 3, √3×√3R30° (R3) and 6√3×6√3R30° (6R3) reconstructions, of decreasing Si surface richness, have been prepared by standard surface preparation procedures. They are controlled by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), low energy electron diffraction and photoemission. One monolayer of Ge has been deposited similarly at room temperature on each of these three surfaces, followed by the same set of isochronal heatings at increasing temperatures up to complete Ge desorption. At each step of heating, the structural and chemical status of the Ge ad-layer has been probed. Marked differences between the Si- (3 × 3 and R3) and C-rich (6R3) terminations have been obtained. Ge wetting layers are only obtained up to 400 °C on 3 × 3 and R3 surfaces in the form of a 4 × 4 reconstruction. The wetting is more complete on the R3 surface, whose atomic structure is the closest to an ideally Si-terminated 1 × 1 SiC surface. At higher temperatures, the wetting layer stage transiets in Ge polycrystallites followed by the unexpected appearance on the 3 × 3 surface of a more ordered Si island structure. It denotes a Si clustering of the initial Si 3 × 3 excess, induced by the presence of Ge. A phase separation mechanism between Si and Ge prevails therefore over alloying by Ge supply onto a such Si-terminated 3 × 3 surface. Conversely, no wetting is obtained on the 6R3 surface and island formation of exclusively pure Ge takes place already at low temperature. These islands exhibit a better epitaxial relationship characterized by Ge(1 1 1)//SiC(0 0 0 1) and Ge〈1 1 −2〉//SiC〈1 −1 0 0〉, ascertained by a clear RHEED spot pattern. The absence of any Ge-C bond signature in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy Ge core lines indicates a dominant island nucleation on heterogeneous regions of the surface denuded by the 6R3 graphite pavings. Owing to the used annealing cycles, the deposited Ge amount desorbs on the three surfaces at differentiated temperatures ranging from 950 to 1200 °C. These differences probably reflect the varying morphologies formed at lower temperature on the different surfaces. Considering all these results, the use of imperfect 6R3 surfaces appears to be suited to promote the formation of pure and coherent Ge islands on SiC. 相似文献

A study of surface and interface properties of reconstructed Au-SiC(0 0 0 1) surfaces is reported. Two reconstructions were prepared on SiC(0 0 0 1), a √3 × √3R30° and a Si-rich 3 × 3, before Au deposition and subsequent annealing at different temperatures. For the Si-rich 3 × 3 surface the existence of three stable reconstructions 2√3 × 2√3R30°, 3 × 3 and 5 × 5 are revealed after deposition of Au layers, 4-8 Å thick, and annealing at progressively higher temperatures between 500 and 950 °C. For the 2√3 surface two surface shifted Si 2p components are revealed and the Au 4f spectra clearly indicate silicide formation. The variation in relative intensity for the different core level components with photon energy suggests formation of an ordered silicide layer with some excess Si on top. Similar core level spectra and variations in relative intensity with photon energy are obtained for the 3 × 3 and 5 × 5 phases but the amount of excess Si on top is observed to be smaller and an additional weak Si 2p component becomes discernable.For the √3 surface the evolution of the core level spectra after Au deposition and annealing is shown to be distinctly different than for the Si-rich 3 × 3 surface and only one stable reconstruction, a 3 × 3 phase, is observed at similar annealing temperatures. 相似文献

Surface chemistry of nitrobenzene on Si(1 0 0)-2 × 1 has been investigated using multiple internal reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (MIR-FTIR), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and thermal desorption mass spectrometry. Molecular adsorption of nitrobenzene at submonolayer coverages is dominating at cryogenic temperatures (100 K). As the surface temperature is increased to 160 K, chemical reaction involving nitro group occurs, while the phenyl entity remains intact. Thus, a barrier of approximately 40.8 kJ/mol is established for the interaction of the nitro group of nitrobenzene with the Si(1 0 0)-2 × 1 surface. Further annealing of the silicon surface leads to the decomposition of nitrobenzene. The concentration of nitrogen and oxygen remains constant on a surface within the temperature interval studied here. AES studies also suggest that the majority of carbon-containing products remain bound to the surface at temperatures as high as 1000 K. The only chemical reaction leading to the release of the gaseous products is benzene formation around 670 K. The amount of benzene accounts only for a few percent of the surface species, while the rest of the phenyl groups connected to the silicon surface via a nitrogen linker remain stable even at elevated temperatures, opening an opportunity for stable surface coatings. 相似文献

Well-ordered clean InAs(1 1 1) A and B surfaces have been prepared using HCl-isopropanol solutions and characterized using low-energy electron diffraction and photoemission spectroscopy. The as-treated surfaces are covered by a layer containing arsenic and small amounts of InClx. Annealing induces desorption of the overlayer and reveals (2 × 2) and (1 × 1) structures on the A and B surfaces, respectively. For both surfaces, the surface components of the In 4d and As 3d reveal a charge transfer from the electropositive surface indium to the electronegative surface arsenic. The major advantage of this preparation method over conventional thermal cleaning is a significant reduction in the annealing temperature (≈250 °C) thereby avoiding anion evaporation. 相似文献

CdSe thin films have been grown on GaAs (0 0 1) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The effects of substrate temperature and annealing treatment on the structural properties of CdSe layers were investigated. The growth rate slightly decreases due to the accelerated desorption of Cd from CdSe surface with an increase in the temperature. The sample grown at 260 °C shows a polycrystalline structure with rough surface. As the temperature increases over 300 °C, crystalline CdSe (0 0 1) epilayers with zinc-blende structure are achieved and the structural quality is improved remarkably. The epilayer grown at 340 °C displays the narrowest full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) from (0 0 4) reflection in double-crystal X-ray rocking curve (DCXRC) and the smallest root-mean-square (RMS) roughness of 0.816 nm. Additionally, samples fabricated at 320 °C were annealed in air for 30 min to study the films’ thermal stability. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate that the zinc-blende structure remains unchanged when the annealing temperature is elevated to 460 °C, meaning a good thermal stability of the cubic CdSe epilayers. 相似文献

We have studied Si(0 0 1)-Ga surface structures formed at Ga coverages of slightly above 0.50 monolayer (ML) at 250 °C by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). 4 × 2-, 5 × 2-, and 6 × 2-Ga structures were observed in a local area on the surface. The 4 × 2-Ga structure consists of three protrusions, as observed in filled- and empty-state STM images. The characters of these structures are clearly different from those of other Si(0 0 1)-Ga structures. We also performed an ab initio calculation of the energetics for several possible models for the 4 × 2-Ga structure, and clarified that the three-orthogonal-Ga-dimer model is the most stable. Also, the results of comparing the simulated STM images and observation images at various bias voltages indicate that this structural model is the most favorable. 相似文献

III-V semiconductor compound structures are widely applied in technology of advanced microelectronics, optoelectronics, and gas sensors. In this paper, we report on the use of XPS to characterize in situ the interaction of thermally activated hydrogen atoms and hydrogen molecules with InP(1 0 0) surfaces covered by thin InN overlayers. XPS spectra were taken with an ESCALAB-210 spectrometer after repeated hydrogenation cycles at temperatures up to 350 °C. The evolution of the In 3d, In 4d, P 2p, N 1s, O 1s and C 1s photoelectron spectra was carefully monitored. The XPS spectra of the hydrogen exposed surface revealed significant differences compared to those from the non-hydrogenated surface. InN films were found to be weakly reactive to hydrogen under experimental conditions explored. The behavior of P atoms at the hydrogenated surface was dependent on the parameters characterizing each hydrogenation (exposure, hydrogen species used, annealing temperature). Moreover, the heavily hydrogenated surface exhibited a phosphorus enrichment. 相似文献

We utilized temperature programmed desorption (TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron energy loss spectroscopy (ELS), and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) to investigate the oxidation of Pt(1 0 0)-hex-R0.7° at 450 K. Using an oxygen atom beam, we generated atomic oxygen coverages as high as 3.6 ML (monolayers) on Pt(1 0 0) in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV), almost 6 times the maximum coverage obtainable by dissociatively adsorbing O2. The results show that oxidation occurs through the development of several chemisorbed phases prior to oxide growth above about 1 ML. A weakly bound oxygen state that populates as the coverage increases from approximately 0.50 ML to 1 ML appears to serve as a necessary precursor to Pt oxide growth. We find that increasing the coverage above about 1 ML causes Pt oxide particle growth and significant surface disordering. Decomposition of the Pt oxide particles produces explosive O2 desorption characterized by a shift of the primary TPD feature to higher temperatures and a dramatic increase in the maximum desorption rate with increasing coverage. Based on thermodynamic considerations, we show that the thermal stability of the surface Pt oxide on Pt single crystal surfaces significantly exceeds that of bulk PtO2. Furthermore, we attribute the high stability and the acceleratory decomposition rates of the surface oxide to large kinetic barriers that must be overcome during oxide formation and decomposition. Lastly, we present evidence that structurally similar oxides develop on both Pt(1 1 1) and Pt(1 0 0), therefore concluding that the properties of the surface Pt oxide are largely insensitive to the initial structure of the Pt single crystal surface. 相似文献

The formation of a well-ordered p(2 × 2) overlayer of atomic nitrogen on the Pt(1 1 1) surface and its reaction with hydrogen were characterized with reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The p(2 × 2)-N overlayer is formed by exposure of ammonia to a surface at 85 K that is covered with 0.44 monolayer (ML) of molecular oxygen and then heating to 400 K. The reaction between ammonia and oxygen produces water, which desorbs below 400 K. The only desorption product observed above 400 K is molecular nitrogen, which has a peak desorption temperature of 453 K. The absence of oxygen after the 400 K anneal is confirmed with AES. Although atomic nitrogen can also be produced on the surface through the reaction of ammonia with an atomic, rather than molecular, oxygen overlayer at a saturation coverage of 0.25 ML, the yield of surface nitrogen is significantly less, as indicated by the N2 TPD peak area. Atomic nitrogen readily reacts with hydrogen to produce the NH species, which is characterized with RAIRS by an intense and narrow (FWHM ∼ 4 cm−1) peak at 3322 cm−1. The areas of the H2 TPD peak associated with NH dissociation and the XPS N 1s peak associated with the NH species indicate that not all of the surface N atoms can be converted to NH by the methods used here. 相似文献
