Anti-Adhesion Behavior from Ring-Strain Amine Cyclic Monolayers Grafted on Silicon (111) Surfaces

Molecular Monolayers on Silicon Surfaces

Controlled formation of organic molecular monolayers on silicon surfaces offers the promise of enhancing the functionality of existing and emerging silicon based materials and devices. The synthetic tunability and diversity of properties of organic molecules suggests a range of promising applications for the resulting hybrid organic/silicon structures. At the simplest level, molecular monolayer...

New reconstructions on silicon (111) surfaces.

Azidation of silicon(111) surfaces.

A two-step chlorination/azidation process was reported to prepare azide-modified silicon(111) surfaces. XPS and IR analyses show the covalent bonding of azide with silicon. In combination with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy analyses, different kinetic rates, azide coverages, and surface-area distributions were derived depending on the azidation solvent.

The Structure of Silicon Surfaces from ( 001 ) to ( 111 )

We describe the structure of silicon surfaces oriented between (001) and (111) as determined by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and first-principles, total-energy calculations. In addition to reviewing and reproducing the structures reported for the few surfaces previously studied, we describe a number of additional surfaces in order to provide a complete overview of the (001)-to-(111) surf...

Chlorination of hydrogen-terminated silicon „111... surfaces

Infrared absorption spectroscopy was used to investigate the chlorination of hydrogen-terminated Si 111 surfaces by three different methods: a exposure to a saturated solution of phosphorus pentachloride PCl5 in chlorobenzene; b exposure to chlorine gas, Cl2 g , and c exposure to Cl2 g under UV illumination. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and first principles model clusters calculations were ...
