چکیده
crystalline composition of silver islands on Si(111) D. Wall S. Tikhonov S. Sindermann D. Spoddig C. Hassel M. Horn-von Hoegen F.-J. Meyer zu Heringdorf Photoemission electron microscopy and spot profile analyzing low-energy electron diffraction have been used to study the temperature-dependent growth of Ag islands on a Si(111) surface. Depending on growth temperature, various island shapes can be formed. At low temperatures, polygonic islands are formed, consisting of both Ag(001) and Ag(111) crystal orientations. At higher temperatures, islands consist mostly of Ag(111) orientation and are predominantly of triangular shape. As the islands grow, it is possible that the crystalline composition of an island changes. We observed that Ag(001)-oriented areas convert into areas of Ag(111) orientation. The rotational orientation of the Ag islands with respect to the substrate is explained by a modified coincidence-site lattice approach.

Shape transition in the epitaxial growth of gold silicide in Au thin films on Si(111).
Growth of epitaxial gold silicide islands on bromine-passivated Si(111) substrates has been studied by optical and electron microscopy, electron probe micro analysis and helium ion backscattering. The islands grow in the shape of equilateral triangles up to a critical size beyond which the symmetry of the structure is broken, resulting in a shape transition from triangle to trape-zoid. The isla...
متن کاملSize- and shape-dependent energetics of nanocrystal interfaces: experiment and simulation.
We study the interface energetics of Ag nanocrystals on a H-passivated Si(111) surface by a transmission electron microscopy experiment and molecular dynamics simulations. The annealed nanocrystals are oriented with Ag(111)||Si(111). Azimuthally, epitaxy is preferred for nanocrystals with an interface larger than a coincident-site-lattice (CSL) cell. The equilibrium orientation, or interface en...

The purpose of this study was to expand a trouble free biological method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the leaves extract of Rosa ChinensisL. to act as reducing and stabilizing agent. Water soluble phytochemicals played a vital role for the reduction silver ions into silver nanoparticles. The leaves extract was exposed to silver ions and the resultant biosynthesized Ag...
متن کاملEpitaxial growth of single crystalline lattice-matched Pr0.9Y1.1O3 on SrO-passivated Si001: growth orientation and crystallization tailoring by interface engineering
In this work, SrO buffer layers were employed as an interface engineering approach to realize single crystalline mixed ternary rare earth bixbyite oxide (RE2O3) films on Si (001) substrate. Single crystalline mixed PrxY2-xO3 (x=0-2) has been successfully grown on Si (111) (Ref. 7). However, the formation of such mixed oxide can only be realized at >750 °C, therefore when it is directly grown on...
