Molecular dynamics simulations of the CH3 interaction with Si(1 0 0) were performed using the Tersoff-Brenner potential. The H/C ratio obtained from the simulations is in agreement with available experimental data. The results show that H atoms preferentially react with Si. SiH is the dominant form of SiHx generated. The amount of hydrogen that reacts with silicon is essentially energy-independent. H atoms do not react with adsorbed carbon atoms. The presence of C-H bonds on the surface is due to molecular adsorption.  相似文献

We investigate the low-coverage regime of vanadium deposition on the Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 surface using a combination of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and density-functional theory (DFT) adsorption energy calculations. We theoretically identify the most stable structures in this system: (i) substitutional vanadium atoms at silicon adatom positions; (ii) interstitial vanadium atoms between silicon adatoms and rest atoms; and (iii) interstitial vanadium - silicon adatom vacancy complexes. STM images reveal two simple vanadium-related features near the Si adatom positions: bright spots at both polarities (BB) and dark spots for empty and bright spots for filled states (DB). We relate the BB spots to the interstitial structures and the DB spots to substitutional structures.  相似文献

In this work we have performed total-energy calculations on the geometric structure and adsorption properties of Cu(1 0 0) c(2 × 2)/N surface by using the density-functional theory and the projector-augmented wave method. It is concluded that nitrogen atom was adsorbed on a FFH site with a vertical distance of 0.2 Å towards from surface Cu layer. The bond length of the shortest Cu-N bonding is calculated to be 1.83 Å. Geometry optimization calculations exclude out the possibilities of adsorbate induced reconstruction mode suggested by Driver and Woodruff and the atop structural model. The calculated workfunction for this absorbate-adsorbent system is 4.63 eV which is quite close to that of a clean Cu(1 0 0) surface. The total-energy calculations showed that the average adsorption energy per nitrogen in the case of Cu(1 0 0) c(2 × 2)-N is about 4.88 eV with respect to an isolated N atom. The absorption of nitrogen on Cu(1 0 0) surface yields the hybridization between surface Cu atoms and N, and generates the localized surface states at −1.0 eV relative to Fermi energy EF. The stretch mode of the adsorbed nitrogen at FFH site is about 30.8 meV. The present study provides a strong criterion to account for the local surface geometry in Cu(1 0 0) c(2 × 2)/N surface.  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 c(4 × 2) structures in (0 0 1) surfaces of Si and Ge have been studied by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). Using a proper cleaning method for the Si surface, we were able to observe clear c(4 × 2) LEED patterns up to incident energy of ∼400 eV as well as the Ge surface. Extensive experimental intensity-voltage curves allowed us to optimize the asymmetric dimer model up to the eighth layer (including the dimer layer) in depth in the dynamical LEED calculation. Optimized structural parameters are almost the same for the Si and Ge except for the height of the buckled-up atom of the asymmetric dimer. For the Ge surface, the structural parameters are in excellent agreement with those obtained by a previous theoretical calculation. The tilt angle and bond length of the dimer are 18 ± 1 (19 ± 1)° and 2.4 ± 0.1 (2.5 ± 0.1) Å for the Si(0 0 1) (Ge(0 0 1)), respectively.  相似文献

By means of cluster models coupled with density functional theory, we have studied the hydroboration of the Ge(1 0 0)-2 × 1 surface with BH3. It was found that the Ge(1 0 0) surface exhibits rather different surface reactivity toward the dissociative adsorption of BH3 compared to the C(1 0 0) and Si(1 0 0) surfaces. The strong interaction still exists between the as-formed BH2 and H adspeices although the dissociative adsorption of BH3 on the Ge(1 0 0) surface occurs readily, which is in distinct contrast to that on the C(1 0 0) and Si(1 0 0) surfaces. This can be understood by the electrophilic nature of the down Ge atom, which makes it unfavourable to form a GeH bond with the dissociating proton-like hydrogen. Alternatively, it can be attributed to the weak proton affinity of the Ge(1 0 0) surface. Nevertheless, the overall dissociative adsorption of BH3 on group IV semiconductor surfaces is favourable both thermodynamically and kinetically, suggesting the interesting analogy and similar diversity chemistry of solid surface in the same group.  相似文献

The surface structure of Si(1 1 1)-6 × 1-Ag was investigated using surface X-ray diffraction techniques. By analyzing the CTR scattering intensities along 00 rod, the positions of the Ag and reconstructed Si atoms perpendicular to the surface were determined. The results agreed well with the HCC model proposed for a 3 × 1 structure induced by alkali-metals on a Si(1 1 1) substrate. The heights of the surface Ag and Si atoms did not move when the surface structure changed from Si(1 1 1)-√3 × √3-Ag to Si(1 1 1)-6 × 1-Ag by the desorption of the Ag atoms. From the GIXD measurement, the in-plane arrangement of the surface Ag atoms was determined. The results indicate that the Ag atoms move large distances at the phase transition between the 6 × 1 and 3 × 1 structures.  相似文献

We provide a mini review of recent theoretical investigations of nanostructure formation aided by self-organised Bi nanolines on the Si(0 0 1) surface. It is suggested that hydrogen-passivated single-domain Si(0 0 1) produced by the formation of defect-free, hundreds of nm long, and 1.2-1.5 nm wide Bi nanolines provides an appealing template with preferential sites for adsorption of other elements. Based on ab initio pseudopotential calculations it is suggested that using the Bi nanoline template it should be possible to grow the following structures: mixed Ge-Si dimer structures on the Si(0 0 1) terrace between two neighbouring Bi nanolines; small In nanoclusters along the nanoline; and line and cluster structures of Fe atoms with novel electronic and magnetic properties.  相似文献

The room temperature (RT) adsorption of 1,2-difluorobenzene (1,2-DFB), 1,2-dichlorobenzene (1,2-DCB) and 1,2-dibromobenzene (1,2-DBB) on Si(1 0 0)2 × 1 have been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). Both XPS and TPD data show that the relative degree of dissociative to associative adsorption of the dihalogenated benzene (DXB) appears to increase with decreasing electronegativity of the halogen atom (X). In particular, the C 1s intensity ratios for the C-H and C-Si components to the C-X component are found to be 2, 3 and 9.6 for 1,2-DFB, 1,2-DCB and 1,2-DBB, respectively. These results indicate that 1,2-DFB, like benzene, exclusively adsorbs molecularly as a difluorocyclohexadiene adspecies on Si(1 0 0)2 × 1 while 1,2-DBB adsorbs predominantly with double debromination to form 1,2-phenylene. The majority of 1,2-DCB (75%) is found to adsorb molecularly, with the rest (25%) undergone single or double dechlorination to form chlorophenyl and phenylene, respectively. All three DXB molecules appear to have similar coverage as benzene. The two molecular desorption features for 1,2-DFB and 1,2-DCE are observed with desorption maxima at 460 K and 540 K similar to those found for benzene, which suggests that the dihalocyclohexadiene adstructures involve similar bonding through the benzene ring. In accord with the XPS data, no molecular desorption feature is observed for 1,2-DBB on the 2 × 1 surface. Further decomposition of the resulting phenylene adstructures is evident from the desorption fragment, C2H2, found at 610 K and 740 K. Recombinative desorption of HCl and HBr above 880 K are also found for 1,2-DCB and 1,2-DBB, respectively. The observed differences between associative and dissociative adsorption for the three DXB adsorbates could be attributed not only to the large difference in the C-X bond strength but also to the relative contributions from inductively withdrawing and resonantly donating electrons exerted by the halogen (X) atoms to the benzene ring.  相似文献

The adsorption of NH3 molecule on the Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 surface modelled with a cluster has been studied using density functional theory (DFT). The results indicate the existence of a precursor state for the non-dissociative chemisorption. The active site for the molecular chemisorption is the adatom; while the NH3 molecule adsorbs on the Si restatom via this preadsorbed state, the adsorption on the Si adatom is produced practically without an energy barrier. The ammonia adsorption on the adatom induces an electron transfer from the dangling bond of this atom to the dangling bond of the adjacent Si restatom, hindering this site for the adsorption of a second NH3 incoming molecule. However, this second molecule links strongly by means of two H-bonds. The dissociative chemisorption process was studied considering one and two ammonia molecules. For the dissociation of a lonely NH3 molecule an energy barrier of ∼0.3 eV was calculated, yielding NH2 on the adatom and H on the restatom. When two molecules are adsorbed, the NH3-NH3 interaction yields the weakening of a N-H bond of the ammonia molecule adsorbed closer the Si surface. As a consequence, the dissociation barrier practically disappears. Thus, the presence of a second NH3 molecule at the adatom-restatom pair of the Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 surface makes the dissociative reaction self-assisted, the total adsorption process elapsing with a negligible activation barrier (less than 0.01 eV).  相似文献

We have studied the adsorption structure of acetic anhydride on a TiO2(1 1 0) surface using XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), LEED (low energy electron diffraction) and HREELS (high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy) to determine the origins of the unique adsorption properties of carboxylic acids on a TiO2(1 1 0) surface. The C 1s XPS data indicated that the saturation carbon amount of adsorbed acetic anhydride was 12 ± 3% larger than that of the adsorbed acetic acid. LEED showed p(2 × 1) weak spots for the acetic anhydride adsorbed surface. The HREELS spectra revealed the dissociative adsorption of acetic anhydride. Based on these findings, we concluded that the neutralization of the bridging oxygen atoms associated with the dissociative adsorption is necessary for the stable adsorption of carboxylates on the 5-fold Ti sites.  相似文献

The consequences of Ge deposition on Br-terminated Si(1 0 0) were studied with scanning tunneling microscopy at ambient temperature after annealing at 650 K. One monolayer of Br was sufficient to prevent the formation of Ge huts beyond the critical thickness of 3 ML. This is possible because Br acts as a surfactant whose presence lowered the diffusivity of Ge adatoms. Hindered mobility was manifest at low coverage through the formation of short Ge chains. Further deposition resulted in the extension and connection of the Ge chains and gave rise to the buildup of incomplete layers. The deposition of 7 ML of Ge resulted in a rough surface characterized by irregularly shaped clusters. A short 800 K anneal desorbed the Br and allowed Ge atoms to reorganize into the more energetically favorable “hut” structures produced by conventional Ge overlayer growth on Si(1 0 0).  相似文献

The surface relaxation mechanisms governing the preferential adsorption of metal atoms onto the faulted half-cells of a 7 × 7 reconstructed Si(1 1 1) surface are studied by rate equations and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The versatility of these mechanisms to control the formation of quasi-perfect 2D arrays of metal clusters is revealed via the optimization of the deposition/annealing conditions as a function of operating mechanisms, the Si(1 1 1)7 × 7 energy landscape, and the thermal stability of the created clusters. The influence on the formation process of such nanoarrays of the balance between kinetic limitations, which are especially relevant on Si(1 1 1)7 × 7, and thermodynamic tendencies is discussed.  相似文献

Electronic, magnetic and structural properties of atomic oxygen adsorbed in on-surface and subsurface sites at the two most densely packed iron surfaces are investigated using density functional theory combined with a thermodynamics formalism. Oxygen coverages varying from a quarter to two monolayers (MLs) are considered. At a 1/4 ML coverage, the most stable on-surface adsorption sites are the twofold long bridge sites on the (1 1 0), and the fourfold-hollow sites on the (1 0 0) surface. The presence of on-surface oxygen atoms enhances the magnetic moments of the atoms of the two topmost Fe layers. Detailed results on the surface magnetic properties, due to O incorporation, are presented as well. Subsurface adsorption is found unfavored. The most stable subsurface O, in tetrahedral positions at the (1 0 0) and octahedral ones at the (1 1 0) surface, are characterized by substantially lower binding than that in the on-surface sites. Subsurface oxygen increases the interplanar distance between the uppermost Fe layers. The preadsorbed oxygen overlayer enhances binding of subsurface O atoms, particularly for tetrahedral sites beneath the (1 1 0) surface.  相似文献

Monolayer Ga adsorption on Si surfaces has been studied with the aim of forming p-delta doped nanostructures. Ga surface phases on Si can be nitrided by N2+ ion bombardment to form GaN nanostructures with exotic electron confinement properties for novel optoelectronic devices. In this study, we report the adsorption of Ga in the submonolayer regime on 7 × 7 reconstructed Si(1 1 1) surface at room temperature, under controlled ultrahigh vacuum conditions. We use in-situ Auger electron spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy and low energy electron diffraction to monitor the growth and determine the properties. We observe that Ga grows in the Stranski-Krastanov growth mode, where islands begin to form on two flat monolayers. The variation in the dangling bond density is observed during the interface evolution by monitoring the Si (LVV) line shape. The Ga adsorbed system is subjected to thermal annealing and the residual thermal desorption studied. The difference in the adsorption kinetics and desorption dynamics on the surface morphology is explained in terms of strain relaxation routes and bonding configurations. Due to the presence of an energetic hierarchy of residence sites of adatoms, site we also plot a 2D phase diagram consisting of several surface phases. Our EELS results show that the electronic properties of the surface phases are unique to their respective structural arrangement.  相似文献

We attempt to correlate qualitatively the surface structure with the chemical activity for a metal surface, Cr(1 1 0), and one of its surface oxides, Cr2O3(0 0 0 1)/Cr(1 1 0). The kinetics and dynamics of CO2 adsorption have been studied by low energy electron diffraction (LEED), Aug er electron spectroscopy (AES), and thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), as well as adsorption probability measurements conducted for impact energies of Ei = 0.1-1.1 eV and adsorption temperatures of Ts = 92-135 K. The Cr(1 1 0) surface is characterized by a square shaped LEED pattern, contamination free Cr AES, and a single dominant TDS peak (binding energy Ed = 33.3 kJ/mol, first order pre-exponential 1 × 1013 s−1). The oxide exhibits a hexagonal shaped LEED pattern, Cr AES with an additional O-line, and two TDS peaks (Ed = 39.5 and 30.5 kJ/mol). The initial adsorption probability, S0, is independent of Ts for both systems and decreases exponentially from 0.69 to 0.22 for Cr(1 1 0) with increasing Ei, with S0 smaller by ∼0.15 for the surface oxide. The coverage dependence of the adsorption probability, S(Θ), at low Ei is approx. independent of coverage (Kisliuk-shape) and increases initially at large Ei with coverage (adsorbate-assisted adsorption). CO2 physisorbs on both systems and the adsorption is non-activated and precursor mediated. Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) have been used to parameterize the beam scattering data. The coverage dependence of Ed has been obtained by means of a Redhead analysis of the TDS curves.  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

The growth of Pb films on the Si(1 0 0)-2 × 1 surface has been investigated at low temperature using scanning tunneling microscopy. Although the orientation of the substrate is (1 0 0), flat-top Pb islands with (1 1 1) surface can be observed. The island thickness is confined within four to nine atomic layers at low coverage. Among these islands, those with a thickness of six layers are most abundant. Quantum-well states in Pb(1 1 1) islands of different thickness are acquired by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. They are found to be identical to those taken on the Pb(1 1 1) islands grown on the Si(1 1 1)7 × 7 surface. Besides Pb(1 1 1) islands, two additional types of Pb islands are formed: rectangular flat-top Pb(1 0 0) islands and rectangular three-dimensional (3D) Pb islands, and both their orientations rotate by 90° from a terrace to the adjacent one. This phenomenon implies that the structures of Pb(1 0 0) and 3D islands are influenced by the Si(1 0 0)-2 × 1 substrate.  相似文献

The electronic structure of the c(2 × 2)-Si/Cu(0 1 1) surface alloy has been investigated and compared to the structures seen in the three phases of the (√3 × √3)R30°Cu2Si/Cu(1 1 1) system, using LCAO-DFT. The weighted surface energy increase between the alloyed Cu(0 1 1) and Cu(1 1 1) surfaces is 126.7 meV/Si atom. This increase in energy for the (0 1 1) system when compared to the (1 1 1) system is assigned to the transition from a hexagonal to a rectangular local bonding environment for the Si ion cores, with the hexagonal environment being energetically more favorable. The Si 3s state is shown to interact covalently with the Cu 4s and 4p states whereas the Si 3p state, and to a lesser extent the Si 3d state, forms a mixture of covalent and metallic bonds with the Cu states. The Cu 4s and 4p states are shown to be altered by approximately the same amount by both the removal of Cu ion cores and the inclusion of Si ion cores during the alloying of the Cu(0 1 1) surface. However, the Cu 3d states in the surface and second layers of the alloy are shown to be more significantly altered during the alloying process by the removal of Cu ion cores from the surface layer rather than by the addition of Si ion cores. This is compared to the behavior of the Cu 3d states in the surface and second layers of the each phase of the (√3 × √3)R30°-Cu2Si/Cu(1 1 1) alloy and consequently the loss of Cu-Cu periodicity during alloying of the Cu(0 1 1) surface is conjectured as the driving force for changes to the Cu 3d states. The accompanying changes to the Cu 4s and 4p states in both the c(2 × 2)-Si/Cu(0 1 1) and (√3 × √3)R30°-Cu2Si/Cu(1 1 1) alloys are quantified and compared. The study concludes with a brief quantitative study of changes in the bond order of the Cu-Cu bonds during alloying of both Cu(0 1 1) and Cu(1 1 1) surfaces.  相似文献

Metal atom on the Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 surface undergoes migration by hopping among Si-adatom and Si-rest atom. If the hopping migration is prohibited, how change the deposited metals? In this paper, we studied the deposition of metals on the Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7 surface saturated with C2H5OH, on which the whole Si-rest atoms are changed to Si-H so that the hoping migration of metals will be prohibited. We found the growth of ca. 5 nm of crystalline dots by the deposition of Sn, Zn and Ag. Interestingly, Ag dots undergo layer-by-layer growth so that the surface is covered with 5 nm size dots with uniform height. When the hopping migration is prohibited, growth of dots is controlled by the kinetics of precursor state atoms instead of the lattice energy relating to lattice matching or strain.  相似文献
