Keynote METAL ATOMS ON ULTRATHIN INSULATING FILMS: CONTROLLING THE CHARGE STATE OF INDIVIDUAL GOLD ATOMS
Ultrathin insulating films on metal substrates are unique systems to use the scanning tunneling microscope to study the electronic properties of single atoms and molecules, which are electronically decoupled from the metallic substrate. Moreover the high lateral resolution in combination with local electronic spectroscopy allows also the investigation of the underlying metal/insulator interface...
متن کاملSpontaneous doping of two-dimensional NaCl films with Cr atoms: aggregation and electronic structure.
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that deposited Cr atoms replace either Na or Cl ions, forming substituting dopants in ultrathin NaCl/Au(111) films. The Cr dopants exchange electrons with the support thus changing the electronic properties of the film and in particular the work function. The Cr atoms spontaneously ...
متن کاملCharging of metal adatoms on ultrathin oxide films: Au and Pd on FeO/Pt(111).
We present a combined experimental (STM/scanning tunneling spectroscopy) and theoretical (density functional theory) study on the deposition of Au and Pd metal atoms on FeO/Pt(111) ultrathin films. We show that while the Pd atoms are only slightly oxidized, the Au atoms form positive ions upon deposition, at variance to a charge transfer into the Au atoms as observed for MgO/Ag(100). The modula...
متن کاملCharge-State-Dependent Diffusion of Individual Gold Adatoms on Ionic Thin NaCl Films.
It is known that individual metal atoms on insulating ionic films can occur in several different (meta)stable charge states, which can be reversibly switched in a controlled fashion. Here we show that the diffusion of gold adatoms on NaCl thin films depends critically on their charge state. Surprisingly, the anionic species has a lower diffusion barrier than the neutral one. Furthermore, for th...
متن کاملSelf-doping of ultrathin insulating films by transition metal atoms.
Single magnetic Co atoms are deposited on atomically thin NaCl films on Au(111). Two different adsorption sites are revealed by high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), i.e., at Na and at Cl locations. Using density functional based simulations of the STM images, we show that the Co atoms substitute with either a Na or Cl atom of the NaCl surface, resulting in cationic and anionic C...
