Growing extremely thin bulklike metal film on a semiconductor surface: Monolayer Al(111) on Si(111)

Journal Article Jiang, Ying ; Kim, Yong-Hyun ; Zhang, S. B. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report combined scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray photoelectron emission spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and theoretical study of the growth of ultrathin Al film on the Si(111) substrate. We show that by (i) a modification of the substrate reconstruction with a √3×√3 surface and (ii) a choice of materials with commensurate lattices, atomically flat film can be obtained even at the ultimate one monolayer limit, while maintaining a bulklike atomic structure. Detailed analysis shows that this monolayer Al(111)-1×1Al(111)-1×1 film is electronically decoupled from the Si substrate, and it shows metallic characteristics.

Structural studies of alkali metal adsorption on silicon surfaces

Technical Report Nelson, E.J.

The knowledge of the location of the atoms at a metal/semiconductor interface is a prerequisite to the understanding of its electronic structure. Unlike some metals, alkali metals (AM's) form abrupt, ordered monolayer interfaces with semiconductors, since they neither react nor cluster. This ordered adsorption, as well as the simple AM electronic structure of one valence s-electron, allows simplifications in theoretical models and in interpretations of experimental data of the AM/Silicon interface which are not available for metal/semiconductor interfaces in general. This thesis will document the use of a combination of synchrotron experimental techniques to determine the geometrical structure of amore »« less

Nanometer-thick gold on silicon as a proxy for single-crystal gold for the electrodeposition of epitaxial cuprous oxide thin films

Journal Article Switzer, Jay A. ; Hill, James C. ; Mahenderkar, Naveen K. ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Here, single-crystal Au is an excellent substrate for electrochemical epitaxial growth due to its chemical inertness, but the high cost of bulk Au single crystals prohibits their use in practical applications. Here, we show that ultrathin epitaxial films of Au electrodeposited onto Si(111), Si(100), and Si(110) wafers can serve as an inexpensive proxy for bulk single-crystal Au for the deposition of epitaxial films of cuprous oxide (Cu ₂O). The Au films range in thickness from 7.7 nm for a film deposited for 5 min to 28.3 nm for a film deposited for 30 min. The film thicknesses are measured bymore »« less

Metal thin film growth on multimetallic surfaces: From quaternary metallic glass to binary crystal

Thesis/Dissertation Jing, Dapeng

The work presented in this thesis mainly focuses on the nucleation and growth of metal thin films on multimetallic surfaces. First, we have investigated the Ag film growth on a bulk metallic glass surface. Next, we have examined the coarsening and decay of bilayer Ag islands on NiAl(110) surface. Third, we have investigated the Ag film growth on NiAl(110) surface using low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). At last, we have reported our investigation on the epitaxial growth of Ni on NiAl(110) surface. Some general conclusions can be drawn as follows. First, Ag, a bulk-crystalline material, initially forms a disordered wetting layermore »« less
