Quasi unidimensional growth of Co nanostructures on a strained Au(111) surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated to which extent a uniaxially-strained Au(111) surface, thereby displaying linear reconstructions, may be used as a template for the growth of elongated nanostructures. Cobalt has been used as a deposition material, and two routes have been followed satisfactorily. The first one consists in the control of diffusion through the temperature of deposition. The second one consists in a first step of platinum seeding in the reconstruction, followed by cobalt deposition with nucleation on the platinum seeds.

Tensile-strained growth on low-index GaAs
We present a comparative study of the growth of tensile-strained GaP on the four low-index surfaces of GaAs: (001), (110), (111)A, and (111)B. For each surface orientation we outline the growth conditions required for smooth GaAs homoepitaxy. We are able to predict the resulting surface morphology when GaP is deposited onto these four GaAs surfaces by considering the influence of surface orient...
متن کاملElectrochemical nanoscale templating: laterally self-aligned growth of organic-metal nanostructures.
The electrodeposition of Ag into organized surfactant templates adsorbed onto (22 × √3) reconstructed Au(111) is investigated by in situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy. Ag(+) concentrations of as low as 2.5 × 10(-6) M allow the visualization of the electrochemical molecular templating effect of a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) adlayer. The SDS hemicylindrical stripes determine the ...
متن کاملSystematic Control of Self-Assembled Au Nanoparticles and Nanostructures Through the Variation of Deposition Amount, Annealing Duration, and Temperature on Si (111)
The size, density, and configurations of Au nanoparticles (NPs) can play important roles in controlling the electron mobility, light absorption, and localized surface plasmon resonance, and further in the Au NP-assisted nanostructure fabrications. In this study, we present a systematical investigation on the evolution of Au NPs and nanostructures on Si (111) by controlling the deposition amount...
متن کاملStructural and electronic properties of CO molecule adsorbed on the TiO2 supported Au overlayers: Insights from density functional theory computations
We have examined the adsorption behaviors of carbon monoxide (CO) molecule on TiO2 anatase supported Au overlayers. The results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used in order to gain insights into the effects of the adsorption of CO molecules on the considered hybrid nanostructures. We have investigated different adsorption geometries of CO over the nanoparticles....
