Abstract

The structural and electronic structure of single wall carbon nanotubes adsorbed on Au(111) has been investigated by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The nanotubes were dry deposited in situ in ultrahigh vacuum onto a perfectly clean substrate. In some cases, the native herringbone reconstruction of the Au(111) surface interacted directly with adsorbed nanotubes and produced long-range periodic oscillations in their local density of states, corresponding to charge transfer modulations along the tube axis. This effect, however, was observed not systematically for all tubes and only for semiconducting tubes.

Structure and energetics of the elbows in the Au(111) herringbone reconstruction

Journal Article Bartelt, Norman; Thürmer, Konrad - Physical Review B

We study the structure of the threading edge dislocations, or “elbows,” which are an essential component of the well-known herringbone reconstruction of the (111) surface of Au. Previous work had shown that these dislocations can be stabilized by long-range elastic relaxations into the bulk. However, the validity of the harmonic spring model that had been used to estimate the energies of the dislocations is uncertain. To enable a more refined model of the dislocation energetics, we have imaged the atomic structure of these dislocations using scanning tunneling microscopy. We find that the harmonic spring model does not adequately reproduce themore »« less

Solvent-assisted growth of metal phthalocyanine thin films on Au(111)

Journal Article Tskipuri, Levan; Qian, Shao; Reutt-Robey, Janice - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, International Journal Devoted to Vacuum, Surfaces, and Films

Thin films of metal phthalocyanine (MPc) are grown on an Au(111) support with a newly developed aerosol molecular beam deposition source and characterized in situ via ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy. MPcs are delivered to Au(111) in a series of N{sub 2}-entrained microsized solvent droplets of variable surface residence time. Phthalocyanine film registration to the herringbone reconstruction of the Au(111) surface, indicative of thermodynamically favored structure, is observed at submonolayer coverages for aromatic solvents with long residence times. Aerosol-deposited monolayer film structures are noncrystalline with tilted MPc orientations and vacancy nanocavities. Upon annealing, MPc molecules adopt flat-lying orientations with respectmore »« less

Growth and structural studies of In/Au(111) alloys and InO_x/Au(111) inverse oxide/metal model catalysts

Journal Article Kang, Jindong; Mahapatra, Mausumi; Rui, Ning; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Indium oxide has received attention as an exciting candidate for catalyzing the CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol due to its high selectivity (>80%). Compared to the extent of research on the activity of indium oxide-based powder catalysts, very little is known about the phenomena associated with the formation of surface alloys involving indium or the growth mechanism for indium oxide nanoparticles. In this report, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to elucidate the growth mode, structure, and chemical state of In/Au(111) alloys and InO_x/Au(111) inverse model catalysts. Here, our study reveals distinct morphological differences between In/Au(111)more »« less

Preserving the 7 × 7 surface reconstruction of clean Si(111) by graphene adsorption

Journal Article Koepke, Justin; Wood, Joshua; Lyding, Joseph; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We employ room-temperature ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy and ab-initio calculations to study graphene flakes that were adsorbed onto the Si(111)–7 × 7 surface. The characteristic 7 × 7 reconstruction of this semiconductor substrate can be resolved through graphene at all scanning biases, thus indicating that the atomistic configuration of the semiconducting substrate is not altered upon graphene adsorption. Large-scale ab-initio calculations confirm these experimental observations and point to a lack of chemical bonding among interfacial graphene and silicon atoms. Our work provides insight into atomic-scale chemistry between graphene and highly reactive surfaces, directing future passivation and chemical interaction work in graphene-based heterostructures.

Elastic stress domains and the herringbone reconstruction on Au(111)

Journal Article Narasimhan, S; Vanderbilt, D - Physical Review Letters; (United States)

We suggest that the herringbone reconstruction of the Au(111) surface results from the spontaneous formation of stress domains.'' The surface is described theoretically by a 2D Frenkel-Kontorova model. Upon including long-range elastic interactions, the stress-domain pattern is energetically favored. The surface topography and structure factor obtained by relaxing atomic coordinates using molecular dynamics bear a strong resemblance to scanning tunneling microscopy pictures and x-ray scattering data, respectively. Our numerical estimate for the separation between domain walls is consistent with experimental results.
