چکیده

The tri-para-carboxylic polychlorotriphenylmethyl radical adsorption on a Cu/Au(111) surface has been investigated in ultra-high vacuum environment. The presence of copper favours the formation of metal-organic assemblies, which are analysed using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). DFT methods indicate that the unpaired electron survives after adsorption, thus creating systems which could be regarded as potential candidates for spintronics applications.

Optimal electron doping of a C60 monolayer on Cu(111) via interface reconstruction.

We demonstrate the charge state of C60 on a Cu(111) surface can be made optimal, i.e., forming C60(3-) as required for superconductivity in bulk alkali-doped C60, purely through interface reconstruction rather than with foreign dopants. We link the origin of the C60(3-) charge state to a reconstructed interface with ordered (4x4) 7-atom vacancy holes in the surface. In contrast, C60 adsorbed on...

N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Self‐assembled Monolayers on Copper and Gold: Dramatic Effect of Wingtip Groups on Binding, Orientation and Assembly

Self-assembled monolayers of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) on copper are reported. The monolayer structure is highly dependent on the N,N-substituents on the NHC. On both Cu(111) and Au(111), bulky isopropyl substituents force the NHC to bind perpendicular to the metal surface while methyl- or ethyl-substituted NHCs lie flat. Temperature-programmed desorption studies show that the NHC binds to...

High resolution electrochemical STM: New structural results for underpotentially deposited Cu on Au(111) in acid sulfate solution

Adsorption of sulfate assists Cu monolayer underpotential deposition (upd) on Au(111) in a unique way, rendering two distinct structural stages: (i) formation of a low-density Cu phase at coverage of 2/3 ML known as the ffiffiffi 3 p ffiffiffi 3 p R30 or honeycomb phase; (ii) formation of a complete monolayer, i.e., Cu-(1 · 1) phase pseudomorphic with respect to underlying Au(111) substrate. In...

Interaction of atomic hydrogen with monometallic Au(100), Cu(100), Pt(100) surfaces and surface of bimetallic Au@Cu(100), Au@Pt(100) overlayer systems: The role of magnetism

The spin-polarized calculations in generalized gradient approximation density–functional theory (GGA–DFT) have been used to show how the existence of second metals can modify the atomic hydrogen adsorption on Au (100), Cu (100), and Pt (100) surfaces. The computed adsorption energies for the atomic hydrogen adsorbed at the surface coverage of 0.125 ML (monolayer) for the monometallic Au (100), ...

Adsorption characteristics of Er3N@C80on W(110) and Au(111) studied via scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy

We performed a study on the fundamental adsorption characteristics of Er3N@C80 deposited on W(110) and Au(111) via room temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Adsorbed on W(110), a comparatively strong bond to the endohedral fullerenes inhibited the formation of ordered monolayer islands. In contrast, the Au(111)-surface provides a sufficiently high mobility for the molecul...
