Surface reconstructions on the ( 100 ) CoSi 2 surface
نویسنده
چکیده
We have investigated the relative stability of a number of p(1×1), c(2×2) and p(2×2) surface reconstructions on the (100) 2 surface as deposited on Si(100). The relative stability of these reconstructions as a function of whether the growth conditions are either Si rich or Co rich is also investigated. We show that the most stable surface under all growth conditions is a c(2×2) reconstructed Si-terminated surface. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All

متن کاملGeometric ordering, surface chemistry, band bending, and work function at decapped GaAs(100) surfaces.
We present a comprehensive study of epitaxially grown and As-coated GaAs(100) surfaces as a function of As desorption temperature and background pressure. We have used low-energy electron diffraction to determine surface reconstruction, and core-level and valence-band soft-x-ray photoemission spectroscopy to perform chemical and electronic characterization of these surfaces. We find gradual cha...

The relationship between emissivity, delay time, and surface growth for metastable solidification of CoSi-62 at. % eutectic alloys is reported from undercooling experiments conducted using electrostatic levitation. A fraction of the undercooled melt is first solidified to CoSi2 with subsequent nucleation in the mushy-zone of CoSi after an observed delay time. During this double recalescence eve...
متن کاملNew reconstructions of the (110) surface of rutile TiO2 predicted by an evolutionary method.
Reconstructions of the (110) surface of rutile TiO2 (the dominant surface of this important mineral and catalyst) are investigated using the evolutionary approach, resolving previous controversies. Depending on thermodynamic conditions, four different stable reconstructions are observed for this surface. We confirm the recently proposed "Ti2O3-(1×2)" and "Ti2O-(1×2)" reconstructions and predict...
متن کاملDensity functional study of oxygen on Cu(100) and Cu(110) surfaces
Using density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation, we investigate the interaction between atomic oxygen and Cu 100 and Cu 110 surfaces. We consider the adsorption of oxygen at various on-surface and subsurface sites of Cu 100 for coverages of 1/8 to 1 monolayers ML . We find that oxygen at a coverage of 1/2 ML preferably binds to Cu 100 in a missing-row surface recon...
