Quantum Size Effects in Ultrathin Metallic Islands: a Scanning Tunneling Microscopy/Spectroscopy Study
This thesis reports measurements concerning quantum size effects of single crystalline metallic islands by using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Different sample systems are presented in the following chapters. In chapter 2, several aspects of quantum well states (QWS) of Pb ultrathin islands grown on Si(111) substrate are reported. The differential c...
متن کاملSupport effects on the atomic structure of ultrathin silica films on metals
We studied the atomic structure of ultrathin silica films on Pt(111) in comparison with the previously studied films on Mo(112) and Ru(0001). The results obtained by scanning tunneling microscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy suggest that the metal-oxygen bond strength plays the decisive role in the atomic structure of the silica overlayers on metal...
متن کاملFactors controlling the CO intercalation of h-BN overlayers on Ru(0001).
The space between a two-dimensional (2D) material overlayer and a metal surface can be regarded as a nanoreactor, in which molecule adsorption and surface reaction may occur. In this work, we present CO intercalation under a hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) overlayer on Ru(0001) at room temperature, observed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, and scann...
متن کاملBand structure and oscillatory electron-phonon coupling of Pb thin films determined by atomic-layer-resolved quantum-well states.
Using a low temperature growth method, we have prepared atomically flat Pb thin films over a wide range of film thickness on a Si-(111)-7 x 7 surface. The Pb film morphology and electronic structure are investigated in situ by scanning tunneling microscopy and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Well-defined and atomic-layer-resolved quantum-well states of the Pb films are used to determ...
متن کاملElectrical Properties of Individual Zinc Oxide Grain Boundaries Determined by Spatially Resolved Tunneling Spectroscopy
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spatially resolved tunneling spectroscopy (TS) were used to observe correlations between the geometric structure and electrical properties of polycrystalline ZnO surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum. Constant current images revealed crystallographic features at a range of length scales, including facets which are hundreds of nanometers long and monoatomic step...
