Control of the charge state of metal atoms on thin MgO films.
The arrangement of single gold and palladium atoms deposited on the surface of a 3 monolayer thin film of MgO was investigated using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. While Pd atoms are arranged in a random fashion, Au forms an ordered array on the surface. The long-range ordering as well as the scanning tunneling microscopy appearance of single Au atoms on a 3 monolayer thin MgO f...
متن کاملCharacterization of metal clusters (Pd and Au) supported on various metal oxide surfaces (MgO and TiO2)
Au clusters supported on the TiO2~001!/Mo~100! surface and Pd clusters supported on the MgO~100!/Mo~100! surface have been studied using temperature programmed desorption, ion scattering spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Three dimensional growth has been observed at 300 K for both cases. The adsorption energy of Au on the TiO2~001! surface has bee...
متن کاملBinding of single gold atoms on thin MgO(001) films.
In the present Letter the first electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of single metal atoms on a single crystalline oxide surface are presented. For Au atoms on a MgO(001) film investigated here an analysis of the angular dependent resonance positions and the hyperfine coupling to (17)O shows that the atoms are bound on top of oxygen ions on the terrace of the film. This result is in perfect ...
متن کاملGraphene on Ru(0001) Moiré Corrugation Studied by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy on Au/Graphene/Ru(0001) Heterostructures
Two-dimensional Au islands of different thicknesses grown on graphene/Ru(0001) were used to study the corrugation of the moire ́ structure of graphene/Ru(0001) and discriminate between its mainly structural or electronic character. A comparison of the apparent corrugation measured by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for different Au thicknesses with results of elasticity theory equations appl...
متن کاملRealization of an atomic sieve: Silica on Mo(112)
The adsorption of Pd, Ag and Au atoms on a porous silica film on Mo(112) is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory. While Pd atoms are able to penetrate the holes in the silica top-layer with virtually no barrier, Ag atoms experience an intermediate barrier value and Au atoms are completely unable to pass the oxide surface. The penetration probability does n...
