Disordering of an organic overlayer on a metal surface upon cooling.

چکیده
Inverse melting or disordering, in which the disordered phase forms upon cooling, is known for a few cases in bulk systems under high pressure. We show that inverse disordering also occurs in two dimensions: For a monolayer of 1,4,5,8-naphthalene-tetracarboxylic dianhydride on Ag(111), a completely reversible order-disorder transition appears upon cooling. The transition is driven by strongly anisotropic interactions within the layer versus with the metal substrate. Spectroscopic data reveal changes in the electronic structure of the system corresponding to a strengthening of the interface bonding at low temperatures. We demonstrate that the delicate, temperature-dependent balance between the vertical and lateral forces is the key to understanding this unconventional phase transition.

متن کاملValence-Electron Resonances in Alkali-Metal Overlayers Observed via Photoemission Line-Shape Changes.
Alkali metals adsorbed on metal surfaces attract interest as prototype examples of simple chemisorption [1] and simple metal quantum well systems [2]. In spite of the numerous studies made the electronic structure is still rather poorly characterized. So far, observations of the filled states have been limited to the discrete states that may be formed by alkali metal valence electrons in the en...
متن کاملCarbon-induced surface transformations of cobalt
A reactive force field has been developed that is used in molecular dynamics (MD) studies of the surface transformation of the cobalt (0001) surface induced by an overlayer of adsorbed carbon atoms. Significant surface reconstruction is observed with movement of the Co atoms upward and part of the C atoms to positions below the surface. In a particular C ad atom coverage regime step edge type s...
