Facet Stability in Oxygen-Induced Nanofaceting of Re(1231)
Abstract
The stability of the various facets in oxygen-induced faceting of Re(121) has been studied by low-energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling microcopy, and synchrotron-based high-resolution X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. When Re(121) is annealed at 800-1200 K in oxygen (10-7 Torr), the surface becomes completely covered with nanometer-scale facets, and its morphology depends on the substrate temperature and oxygen exposure. Especially, the (111) facet competes with the (101) facet in determining the surface morphology, and the stability of each facet relies on oxygen coverage. Using density functional theory, the O-Re binding energies on the facets for various oxygen concentrations are calculated to explain how the oxygen coverage affects the anisotropy of surface free energy, which in turn determines the morphology of the faceted surface.
