Substrate dependent buffer-layer assisted growth ofnanoclusters
The role of the substrate on the morphology of nanometer size clusters fabricated by buffer layer assisted growth (BLAG) was studied using scanning tunneling microscopy. Clusters of Fe and Co were deposited on Ag(111), Cu(100), Rh(111), and Pt(111) surfaces using identical BLAG parameters, which are temperature, as well as metal and buffer layer coverage. Semi-hemispherical clusters are found o...
متن کاملBuffer layer-assisted growth of Ge nanoclusters on Si
In the buffer layer-assisted growth method, a condensed inert gas layer of xenon, with low-surface free energy, is used as a buffer to prevent direct interactions of deposited atoms with substrates. Because of an unusually wide applicability, the buffer layer-assisted growth method has provided a unique avenue for creation of nanostructures that are otherwise impossible to grow, and thus offere...
متن کاملBuffer-Layer-Assisted Growth of Nanocrystals: Ag-Xe-Si(111)
Silver nanocrystals have been grown on Xe buffer layers at 50 K. These 3D nanocrystals are delivered to Si(111)-s7 3 7d surfaces when the Xe layer is desorbed, but the density observed on the surface depends strongly on the buffer layer thickness. This dependence reflects an unusual desorption-assisted coalescence process. The results suggest that buffer-layer-assisted growth can be used to pre...
متن کاملSelf-Formed Thin Buffer Layer Assisted Growth of MgZnO Nanowall Structures on GaAs Substrates
This study reports the growth of MgZnO nanowall structures on GaAs substrates through the incorporation of Mg by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition at a growth temperature of 500 C. Through Mg incorporation, a 5 nm-thick MgGa2O4 layer was initially self-formed on GaAs substrates, which acted as a buffer layer with reduced lattice mismatch for nanowall growth. However, due to the large diffe...
متن کاملMagnetism of Fe clusters formed by buffer-layer assisted growth on Pt(997)
The growth and magnetism of nanometer size Fe clusters on stepped Pt surfaces is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements (MOKE). The clusters are formed on xenon buffer layers of varying thickness and then brought into contact with the substrate by thermal desorption of the Xe. The cluster size is controlled by the thickness of the Xe lay...
