Title: Three-dimensional interaction force and tunneling current spectroscopy of point defects on rutile TiO₂(110)

Abstract

Here, the extent to which point defects affect the local chemical reactivity and electronic properties of an oxide surface was evaluated with picometer resolution in all three spatial dimensions using simultaneous atomic force/scanning tunneling microscopy measurements performed on the (110) face of rutile TiO₂. Oxygen atoms were imaged as protrusions in both data channels, corresponding to a rarely observed imaging mode for this prototypical metal oxide surface. Three-dimensional spectroscopy of interaction forces and tunneling currents was performed on individual surface and subsurface defects as a function of tip-sample distance. An interstitial defect assigned to a subsurface hydrogen atom is found to have a distinct effect on the local density of electronic states on the surface, but no detectable influence on the tip-sample interaction force. Meanwhile, spectroscopic data acquired on an oxygen vacancy highlight the role of the probe tip in chemical reactivity measurements.

Atomic Resolution Imaging and Quantification of Chemical Functionality of Surfaces

Technical Report Schwarz, Udo D. ; Altman, Eric I.

The work carried out from 2006-2014 under DoE support was targeted at developing new approaches to the atomic-scale characterization of surfaces that include species-selective imaging and an ability to quantify chemical surface interactions with site-specific accuracy. The newly established methods were subsequently applied to gain insight into the local chemical interactions that govern the catalytic properties of model catalysts of interest to DoE. The foundation of our work was the development of three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (3DAFM), a new measurement mode that allows the mapping of the complete surface force and energy fields with picometer resolution in space (x, y,more »« less

Scanning tunneling microscopy investigations of metal dichalcogenide materials. Final report, 1 November 1989-30 June 1993

Technical Report Lieber, C M

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been used to characterize the atomic level structure of electronic properties, reactivity and wear of metal dichalcogenide materials that are or have potential as solid state lubricants. Single crystals Of MoS2, Ni(x)Mo(l-x)S2, MoS(2-x)Se(x) and MoS(2-x)Te(x) have been prepared to determine how chemical modifications affect the local structure and electronic properties of this lubricant. STM images of Ni-doped MoS2 show localized electronic states due to the Ni atoms, while images of Se- and Te-doped materials indicate that anion substitution is electronically delocalized. AFM studies of Te-doped MoS2 show, however, that themore »« less
Infrared spectroscopy study of adsorption and photodecomposition of formic acid on reduced and defective rutile TiO{sub 2} (110) surfaces

Journal Article Mattsson, Andreas ; Österlund, Lars ; Hu, Shuanglin ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

Adsorption and photodecomposition of formic acid on rutile TiO{sub 2} (110) have been investigated with infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) employing p- and s-polarized light along the [001] and [11{sup ¯}0] crystal directions. The single crystal surfaces were prepared either by sputtering and annealing in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) to obtain a reduced surface (r-TiO{sub 2}), or by sputtering without annealing to create a rough, highly defective surface (sp-TiO{sub 2}). Results are compared with corresponding measurements on rutile nanocrystals performed in synthetic air. IRRAS spectra obtained on r-TiO{sub 2} and rutile nanocrystals are very similar, and show that in both cases formicmore »« less

CO Adsorbate Promotes Polaron Photoactivity on the Reduced Rutile TiO ₂ (110) Surface

Journal Article Cheng, Cheng ; Zhu, Yonghao ; Fang, Wei-Hai ; ... - JACS Au

Polarons play a major role in determining the chemical properties of transitionmetal oxides. Recent experiments show that adsorbates can attract inner polarons to surface sites. These findings require an atomistic understanding of the adsorbate influence on polaron dynamics and lifetime. We consider reduced rutile TiO2(110) with an oxygen vacancy as a prototypical surface and a CO molecule as a classic probe and perform ab initio adiabatic molecular dynamics, time-domain density functional theory, and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations show that subsurface polarons have little influence on CO adsorption and CO can desorb easily. On the contrary, surface polarons stronglymore »« less

Characterization of individual molecular adsorption geometries by atomic force microscopy: Cu-TCPP on rutile TiO{sub 2} (110)

Journal Article Jöhr, Res ; Hinaut, Antoine ; Pawlak, Rémy ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Functionalized materials consisting of inorganic substrates with organic adsorbates play an increasing role in emerging technologies like molecular electronics or hybrid photovoltaics. For such applications, the adsorption geometry of the molecules under operating conditions, e.g., ambient temperature, is crucial because it influences the electronic properties of the interface, which in turn determine the device performance. So far detailed experimental characterization of adsorbates at room temperature has mainly been done using a combination of complementary methods like photoelectron spectroscopy together with scanning tunneling microscopy. However, this approach is limited to ensembles of adsorbates. In this paper, we show that the characterizationmore »« less
