Submonolayer growth with decorated island edges
We study the dynamics of island nucleation in the presence of adsorbates using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of a two-species growth model. Adatoms (A-atoms) and impurities (B-atoms) are codeposited, diffuse and aggregate subject to attractive AAand AB-interactions. Activated exchange of adatoms with impurities is identified as the key process to maintain decoration of island edges by impurit...
متن کاملCu 2 O ( 1 1 0 ) formation on Co 3 O 4 ( 1 1 0 ) induced by copper impurity segregation
The surface crystal structure of the Co3O4(1 1 0) spinel was characterized by low energy electron diffraction (LEED), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Well-defi ned LEED diffraction patterns showed an unreconstructed Co3O4(1 1 0) surface in Type A termination, and XPS and Auger indicated the surface to be stoichiometric with octahedral and tetrahedr...
متن کاملEffect of a Cu–Se secondary phase on the epitaxial growth of CuInSe2 on (1 0 0) GaAs
The effect of a secondary copper selenide phase that appears during epitaxial growth of CuInSe2 (CIS) films on (1 0 0) GaAs substrates was investigated. CIS films with different copper to indium molar ratios were deposited on (1 0 0) GaAs substrates at 360 1C by migration-enhanced epitaxy. Films grown under In-rich conditions were polycrystalline, whereas films grown with a Cu-rich composition ...
متن کاملIn situ UHV-TEM investigation of the kinetics of initial stages of oxidation on the roughened Cu(1 1 0) surface
The initial stages of oxidation on roughened Cu(1 1 0) surface were explored by an in situ ultra-high vacuum transmission electron microscope (UHV-TEM). The dynamic observation of the nucleation and growth of Cu oxide islands shows a highly enhanced nucleation rate on the roughened Cu(1 1 0) surface. The kinetic data obtained from the initial stages of the oxidation indicate that oxygen surface...
متن کاملStates of local moment induced by nonmagnetic impurities in cuprate superconductors.
By using a model Hamiltonian with d-wave superconductivity and competing antiferromagnetic (AF) orders, the local staggered magnetization distribution due to nonmagnetic impurities in cuprate superconductors is investigated. We show that the net moment induced by a single impurity corresponds to a local spin with S(z)=0 or 1/2 depending on the strength of the AF interaction U and the impurity s...
