Adsorption of 1-Octanethiol on the GaN(0001) Surface
نویسنده
چکیده
The chemisorption of 1-octanethiol [CH3(CH2)6CH2SH] from the vapor phase on the GaN(0001)-(1 × 1) surface has been studied using X-ray photoemission, ultraviolet photoemission, and X-ray-excited Auger electron spectroscopies. Quantitative analysis of relative peak intensities indicates that the molecule adsorbs via the thiol group with a saturation coverage of ∼0.28 monolayers and with the alkyl chain lying essentially parallel to the surface. Upon annealing, most of the alkyl C desorbs by ∼350 °C, but most of the S remains. Little or no indication of X-ray-induced damage in the adsorbed thiol layer is seen during data collection.

Electronic and chemical structure of the H2O/GaN(0001) interface under ambient conditions
We employed ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to investigate the electronic and chemical properties of the H2O/GaN(0001) interface under elevated pressures and/or temperatures. A pristine GaN(0001) surface exhibited upward band bending, which was partially flattened when exposed to H2O at room temperature. However, the GaN surface work function was slightly reduced due to the ad...

In this research, the interactions of HCN gas with pristine, Ga-, N- and GaN-doped of boron phosphide nanotube (BPNTs) were investigated by using density function theory (DFT). The structure, electrical and NQR parameters, quantum descriptors involving energy gap, global hardness, global softness, electrophilicity, electronic chemical potential and electronegativity were calculated. The adsorpt...

The kinetics of Ga adsorption/desorption on GaN 0001 surfaces is investigated over the temperature range of 680–750 °C using real-time spectroscopic ellipsometry. The adsorption and desorption kinetics are described in the framework of the Wolkenstein theory, which considers not only the equilibrium between Ga adsorbed on the surface and Ga in the gas phase but also the electronic equilibrium a...

The effects of Ga and N vacancy defect on the change in surface feature, work function, and characteristic of Cs adsorption on a (2 × 2) GaN(0001) surface have been investigated using density functional theory with a plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential method based on first-principles calculations. The covalent bonds gain strength for Ga vacancy defect, whereas they grow weak for N vacancy def...
متن کاملControlled growth of hexagonal GaN pyramids by hot-wall MOCVD
The growth evolution of hexagonal GaN pyramids are investigated under various growth conditions. The hexagonal GaN pyramids were grown by hot-wall metal organic chemical vapor deposition – process (hot-wall MOCVD) on a (0001) oriented GaN template. We concluded the growth of the hexagonal GaN pyramids can be divided into two different regimes defined by the adsorption kinetics of the {1101} sur...
