Surface strain versus substrate interaction in heteroepitaxial metal layers: Pt on Ru(0001).
نویسندگان
چکیده
By studying the adsorption of CO on up to 30 layers of Pt deposited on Ru(0001) the influence of surface strain on the adsorption energy has been disentangled from the residual chemical interaction with the substrate. While the electronic influence of the substrate has largely vanished for three Pt layers, the effect of surface strain due to the 2.5% lattice mismatch of Pt and Ru remains initially intact and is only gradually released for n>/=5 Pt layers. Electronic structure calculations confirm the experimental observations, in particular, the dramatic decrease of the CO adsorption energy on a single Pt layer which is caused by the strong Pt-Ru interlayer coupling.

Oxygen adsorption on Pt/Ru(0001) layers.
Chemical properties of epitaxially grown bimetallic layers may deviate substantially from the behavior of their constituents. Strain in conjunction with electronic effects due to the nearby interface represent the dominant contribution to this modification. One of the simplest surface processes to characterize reactivity of these substrates is the dissociative adsorption of an incoming homo-nuc...
متن کاملElectrosorption and catalytic properties of bare and Pt modified single crystal and nanostructured Ru surfaces
The electrosorption and catalytic properties of bare and Pt modified Ru(0001) and Ru(10−10) single crystal surfaces and carbon supported Ru nanoparticles have been studied by electrochemical, surface X-ray scattering, scanning tunneling microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques. The electrochemical surface oxidation of Ru...
متن کاملStructural properties and site specific interactions of Pt with the graphene/Ru(0001) moiré overlayer.
The coherence of graphene layers on Ru(0001) over extended distances has been employed to identify fcc and hcp regions of the associated moire superstructure. These findings can be used as a straightforward method to discriminate between fcc and hcp hollow sites of Ru(0001). Our approach thereby makes use of the "magnifying lens" characteristics of the graphene/Ru(0001) overlayer and its cohere...
متن کاملWater and CO (co-)adsorption on pseudomorphic Pt films on Ru(0001) - a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy study.
Coadsorption of CO and water under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions can be considered as a model system for the interaction of metal surfaces with CO in an aqueous electrochemical environment. Nevertheless, this has rarely been investigated, and in particular for catalytically relevant bimetallic systems, there is hardly any information available. Here we report results of a low-temperature sc...
متن کاملFine tuning of graphene-metal adhesion by surface alloying
We show that bimetallic surface alloying provides a viable route for governing the interaction between graphene and metal through the selective choice of the elemental composition of the surface alloy. This concept is illustrated by an experimental and theoretical characterization of the properties of graphene on a model PtRu surface alloy on Ru(0001), with a concentration of Pt atoms in the fi...
