Step free energies, surface stress, and adsorbate interactions for Cl-Si„100... at 700 K

چکیده
The evolution and equilibrium morphology of Si~100! with 0.1 monolayer of adsorbed Cl was studied at 700 K with variable temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. Chlorine caused surface roughening with monolayer pits and regrowth islands. The aspect ratio of these features then increased with their size because of the surface-stress anisotropy. By analyzing the equilibrium feature shape as a function of size, we found that the ratio of step free energies for Aand B-type steps was Fb /Fa52.44 for regrowth islands and 3.33 for pits. These ratios are higher than for clean Si~100!, Fb /Fa52.13, because the steps are destabilized.

Quantifying the origin of inter-adsorbate interactions on reactive surfaces for catalyst screening and design.
The adsorption energy of reactant molecules and reaction intermediates is one of the key descriptors of catalytic activity of surfaces and is commonly used as a metric in screening materials for design of heterogeneous catalysts. The efficacy of such screening schemes depends on the accuracy of calculated adsorption energies under reaction conditions. These adsorption energies can depend strong...
متن کاملElectronic excited states of Si(100) and organic molecules adsorbed on Si(100).
The electronically excited states of the Si(100) surface and acetylene, benzene, and 9,10-phenanthrenequinone adsorbed on Si(100) are studied with time-dependent density functional theory. The computational cost of these calculations can be reduced through truncation of the single excitation space. This allows larger cluster models of the surface in conjunction with large adsorbates to be studi...

Metal octaethylporphyrins (M-OEP), M-N(4)C(20)H(4)(C(2)H(5))(8), adsorbed at a metallic substrate are promising candidates to provide spin dependent electric transport. Despite these systems having been studied extensively by experiment, details of the adsorbate geometry and surface binding are still unclear. We have carried out density functional theory calculations for cobalt octaethyl porphy...
