Nonequilibrium behavior of the Pb wetting layer on Si(111)7×7

Journal Article Gramlich, M W ; Hayden, S T ; Chen, Yiyao ; ... - Phys. Rev. B

The growth and stability of the Pb8 x 8 wetting layer on Si(111)7 x 7, which provides a foundation for growing quantum-size-effect nanocrystals, was investigated by in situ x-ray scattering. Our experimental results reveal that the wetting-layer structure evolves temporally over a remarkably broad range of temperatures and that there are two distinct temperature regimes of nonequilibrium behavior. When grown at lower temperature (below 170 C), it was discovered that the wetting-layer structure changes with time, indicating that its disordered structure is not static; annealing in this regime improves the order of the wetting layer. Growth at higher temperature (170more »« less

$C_{60}$ -induced Devil's Staircase transformation on a Pb/Si(111) wetting layer

Journal Article Wang, Lin -Lin ; Johnson, Duane D. ; Tringides, Michael C. - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Density functional theory is used to study structural energetics of Pb vacancy cluster formation on C₆₀/Pb/Si(111) to explain the unusually fast and error-free transformations between the “Devil's Staircase” (DS) phases on the Pb/Si(111) wetting layer at low temperature (~110K). The formation energies of vacancy clusters are calculated in C₆₀/Pb/Si(111) as Pb atoms are progressively ejected from the initial dense Pb wetting layer. Vacancy clusters larger than five Pb atoms are found to be stable with seven being the most stable, while vacancy clusters smaller than five are highly unstable, which agrees well with the observed ejection rate of ~5 Pbmore »« less

A combined STM and SPA-LEED study of the “explosive” nucleation and collective diffusion in Pb/Si(111)

Journal Article Hattab, H. ; Hupalo, M. ; Hershberger, M. T. ; ... - Surface Science

A novel type of very fast nucleation was recently found in Pb/Si(111) with 4- to 7-layer high islands becoming crystalline in an “explosive” way, when the Pb deposited amount in the wetting layer is compressed to θ_c ~ 1.22 ML, well above the metallic Pb(111) density. This “explosive” nucleation is very different from classical nucleation when island growth is more gradual and islands grow in size by single adatom aggregation [8]. In order to identify the key parameters that control the nucleation we used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spot profile analysis low energy electron diffraction (SPA-LEED). It was foundmore »« less
