Counting Electrons Transferred through a thin Alumina Film into Au ad-chains
Low-temperature STM measurements combined with DFT calculations are employed to study the adsorption of gold on alumina/NiAl(110). The binding of Au monomers involves breaking of an oxide Al-O bond below the adatom and stabilizing the hence under-coordinated O ion by forming a new bond to an Al atom in the NiAl. The adsorption implies negative charging of the adatom. The linear arrangement of f...

متن کاملGrowth of thin alumina films on a vicinal NiAl surface
Dramatic changes in the surface morphology have been observed during the oxidation of stepped NiAl(16,14,1) by LEED and STM. The initial sequence of identical (110) terraces is lifted in favor of large, triangular planes, whose mean size is determined by the mismatch-induced stress that accumulates in the thin alumina film. The asymmetry of the original step direction on NiAl(16,14,1) with resp...
متن کاملSubstrate Effects on the Structural Properties of Thin Films of Lead Sulfide
Nanocrystalline PbS thin films are deposited on glass and alumina substratesthrough the chemical bath deposition technique by creating similar conditions, in orderto investigate the effects of the substrate. The structural and optical properties of PbSfilms are investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and UV–Vis.The structural analyses of the films indicate that they are...
متن کاملElectronic and transport properties of artificial gold chains.
We study the electronic and transport properties of artificial Au atomic chains on a NiAl(110) surface template using state-of-the-art first principles calculations. Au chains display remarkable one-dimensional electronic properties that can be tuned by the selective adsorption of small molecules: a single CO group is shown to modulate the electronic wave functions, acting as a "chemical scisso...
