Temperature-induced structural and chemical changes of ultrathin ethylene carbonate films on Cu(111).

چکیده
The interaction of the Li-ion battery solvent ethylene carbonate (EC) with Cu(111) was investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and variable temperature X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions. Between 80 and 420 K, the decomposition of EC occurs along with distinct structural and chemical changes of the adlayer.

An XPS Study of the Interaction of Ultrathin Cu Films with Pd(111)
The interaction of ultrathin Cu films with Pd(111) was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of Cu coverage and annealing temperature were investigated. The XPS data show that at room temperature Cu grows on Pd(111) layer-by-layer without alloying. Furthermore, Cu 2p3/2 core-level shifts as a function of film thickness indicate that the Cu-Pd interactions perturb the el...
متن کاملGrowth, structure, and magnetism of fcc Fe ultrathin films on Cu„111... by pulsed laser deposition
Ultrathin Fe films on Cu~111! have been grown by pulsed-laser deposition ~PLD! whose instantaneous deposition rate is about six orders of magnitude larger than that of the conventional molecular-beam epitaxy based on thermal deposition ~TD!. Compared to the TD prepared Fe/Cu~111! films, the PLD films have a significantly improved layer-by-layer morphology and a substantially enhanced stability ...

We studied structure and reactivity of ZnO(0001) ultrathin films grown on Ag(111) and Cu(111) single crystal surfaces. Structural characterization was carried out by scanning tunneling microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, and temperature programmed desorption. The CO oxidation behavior of the films was studied at low temperature (450 K) at near atmospheric p...
متن کاملInvestigation and Modification of the Magnetism of Epitaxial Fe Structures
In this thesis, the magnetic and structural properties of layered epitaxial film systems and clusters are presented. A main achievement is the investigation of the direct correlation between magnetism and structural or morphological details of ultrathin films. For this purpose, the film structure has been accessed directly by means of surface science methods. The effect of structural changes on...
متن کاملFormation of Cupric Oxide Films on Quartz Substrates by Annealing the Copper Films
In the present work, cupric oxide (CuO) films were obtained through thermal annealing of the copper (Cu) films deposited on quartz substrates by DC magnetron sputtering method. The annealing was performed in air atmosphere for different times ranging from 60-240 min at temperature of 400 ºC. The influence of annealing times on structural and morphological properties of the films was investi...
