STM-induced formation of Ag islands on Ag(111)
The formation of triangular-shaped adatom islands and vacancy islands on Ag(111) at room temperature is observed in a local growth experiment. The tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) vibrating normal to the surface leads to a local modification. Atoms are removed from flat terraces and renucleate as adatom islands. Simultaneously with the modification process the surface is imaged with...
متن کاملElectrochemical ostwald ripening of colloidal ag particles on conductive substrates.
Thermally evaporated silver nanoparticles on conducting substrates spontaneously evolve in size when immersed in pure water. The process was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and optical absorption spectroscopy. The particles are proposed to reform through an electrochemical Ostwald ripening mechanism driven by the size dependence of the w...
متن کاملAnomalous Kinetic Roughening of Nanostructured Ag Islands on Liquid Surfaces
By atomic force microscopy, the surface evolution and kinetic roughening of nanostructured Ag islands on silicone oil surfaces are studied. It is found that the islands are composed of quasi-circular granules with planar size around 50.0 nm, which is approximately independent of nominal thickness d. Our measurement indicates that the geometrical shape of the granules changes from plateau to sph...
متن کاملAdatom capture by arrays of two-dimensional Ag islands on Ag(100)
We examine the capture of diffusing Ag adatoms by arrays of two-dimensional Ag islands subsequent to deposition on Ag(100) at room temperature. This is achieved by a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy experiments, kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, and diffusion equation analyses. The dependence of the capture rates on Ag-island size is shown to reflect larger island-free regions surrou...
متن کاملMagnetic properties of Co/Ag/Co films grown on Ag(100) nanometer-scale islands
Self-assembled Ag(100) islands on Si(100) substrate were fabricated by using the molecular beam epitaxy technique. Co/Ag/Co films were then grown onto Ag films at 100 °C. We have experimentally demonstrated that the magnetic behavior of Co/Ag/Co films is strongly dependent on the thickness and morphology of the Ag(100) islands that serve as a buffer layer. The buffer layer designed to reduce th...
