It is shown, that the well-known d-electron Tamm surface-state emission observed in photoelectron spectra from Cu(111) at the M̄ point in the surface Brillouin zone, is indeed due to such a surface state and not a bulk band transition as recently suggested L. Wallden, Solid State Commun.59, 205 (1986). A similar surface state on Ag(111) is reported. 相似文献
The growth of ultrathin films of Y2O3(111) on Pt(111) has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). The films were grown by physical vapor deposition of yttrium in a 10? 6 Torr oxygen atmosphere. Continuous Y2O3(111) films were obtained by post-growth annealing at 700 °C. LEED and STM indicate an ordered film with a bulk-truncated Y2O3(111)–1 × 1 structure exposed. Furthermore, despite the lattices of the substrate and the oxide film being incommensurate, the two lattices exhibit a strict in-plane orientation relationship with the [11?0] directions of the two cubic lattices aligning parallel to each other. XPS measurements suggest hydroxyls to be easily formed at the Y2O3 surface at room temperature even under ultra high vacuum conditions. The hydrogen desorbs from the yttria surface above ~ 200 °C. 相似文献

Electronic structure of epitaxial Co films on Pd(111) has been investigated as a function of the Co overlayer thickness, by using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). It is found that experimental band structures for Pd(111) and work functions for Co/Pd(111) agree reasonably well with the results of band structure calculations. Compared to Pd(111), valence band ARPES spectra of Co/Pd(111) support the existence of the induced magnetic polarization of Pd atoms near the interface, suggesting large hybridization between Co 3d and Pd 4d states near the interface. 相似文献
High resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy has been applied to study the adsorption of benzene (C6H6 and C6D6) on Pt(111) and Ni(111) single crystal surfaces between 140 and 320 K. The vibrational spectra provide evidence that benzene is chemisorbed with its ring parallel to the surface, predominantly π bonded to the platinum and nickel surface respectively. A significant frequency increase of the CH-out-of-plane bending mode, largest in the case of platinum, is observed compared to the free molecule. On both metals two phases of benzene exist simultaneously, characterized by a different frequency shift. The shifts are explained by electronic interaction between the metal d-orbitals and molecules adsorbed in on top and threefold hollow sites respectively. The vibrational spectra of the multilayer condensed phase of benzene exhibit the infrared active modes of the gasphase molecule as expected. 相似文献
RHEED patterns obtained from thin expitaxial bilayers consisting of Ag grown on smooth (111)Cu surfaces have been shown by Gradmann and Krause to contain anomalous reflections. Previously, these reflections were interpreted as due to a regular arrangement of interfacial dislocations or to multiple diffraction effects. In the present work a thin film technique was used to form smooth, easily detachable (111)Ag/Cu bilayers from which RHEED patterns containing these extra reflections were obtained. These films were grown, annealed, and examined in situ by UHV-RHEED techniques. They were then removed from the vacuum system, detached from their substrates and examined by TEM and TED. Thus, contrary to previous work, the present observations consisted of a series of experiments using RHEED, TED, and TEM carried out on the same specimen. No evidence was obtained to indicate that the anomalous reflections were due to interfacial dislocations. Rather, all the observed phenomena could be explained entirely by multiple diffraction effects. 相似文献
Density-functional calculations on the polar TiX(111) (X = C, N) surfaces show (i) for clean surfaces, strong Ti3d-derived surface resonances (SR’s) at the Fermi level and X2p-derived SR’s deep in the upper valence band and (ii) for adatoms in periods 1-3, pyramidic trends in atomic adsorption energies, peaking at oxygen (9 eV). A concerted-coupling model, where adatom states couple to both kinds of SR’s in a concerted way, describes the adsorption. The chemisorption versatility and the general nature of the model indicate ramifications and predictive abilities in, e.g., growth and catalysis. 相似文献
Oscillating indirect coupling has been observed between perpendicularly magnetized Co(111)-monolayers on Cu(111). through a Cu(111)-interlayer. Contrarily, a weak indication of oscillation only was observed between in-plane magnetized Co(111)-films containing 5 monolayers each. Possible mechanisms for the strongly differing coupling behaviour observed in the Cu/Co(111) system are discussed. 相似文献
The Auger spectra of carbon monoxide adsorbed on Pt(111) and Cu(111) are compared. The characteristic features now regarded as a fingerprint of this adsorbed species are observed, even for the weakly adsorbed CO on copper which gives complex X-ray photoelectron spectra. No coverage dependence of the spectra was observed on either substrate. The C lsVV spectrum of CO/Cu(111) is dominated by transitions involving the “screening” electron in the 2π orbital. 相似文献
By means of first‐principles calculations we predict the stability of silicene as buckled honeycomb lattice on passivated substrates of group‐IV(111)1 × 1 surfaces. The weak van‐der‐Waals interaction between silicene and substrates does not destroy its linear bands forming Dirac cones at the Brillouin zone corners. Only very small fundamental gaps are opened around the Fermi level.
In order to study the effects of photon-polarization selection rules on chemisorptionbond geometry, we have measured photoelectron spectra as a function of angle of incidence, θi, in the range 28° ? θ ? 80°. A noble-gas UV resonance lamp and cylindrical mirror analyzer were used to measure both bonding and non-bonding surface Orbitals. A large enhancement (200–400%) of the photocmission is found when photon electric field intensity is near the maximum normal to the surface. This indicates a spatial variation of microscopic fields which is approximately independent of adsorbate bonding since it is determined by the optical properties of the substrate. In addition, we observe some effects on adsorbate photoelectron peaks due to different orbital symmetry. The case of atomic hydrogen chemisorption is discussed as an example of this latter effect. 相似文献
Various dislocations on Ag(111) were imaged with a scanning tunneling microscope, e.g. screw dislocations, Lomer-Cottrell locks and stacking fault tetrahedron. The distortion field near a screw dislocation was measured. 相似文献
