Room-temperature self-assembly of equilateral triangular clusters via Friedel oscillations.

چکیده
We report on the formation of equilateral triangular clusters hollow inside with 5-6 atoms per side, self-assembled on Ni adislands grown on Rh(111). The observation of standing wave patterns on the Ni adislands and the Rh(111) indicates that the self-assembly is mediated by Friedel oscillations. In this context, we propose a model based on the energy of interaction between adsorbates, which explains the formation of the clusters as a result of the assembly of rows of 5-6 adatoms.

Triangular and Hexagonal Tile Self-Assembly Systems Triangular and Hexagonal Tile Self-Assembly Systems
We discuss theoretical aspects of the self-assembly of triangular tiles, in particular, right triangular tiles and equilateral triangular tiles, and the self-assembly of hexagonal tiles. Contrary to intuition, we show that triangular tile assembly systems and square tile assembly systems cannot be simulated by each other in a non-trivial way. More precisely, there exists a square tile assembly ...

متن کاملSelf-Organized Gold Honeycomb Structure
The early growth stage and growth evolution to a unique gold (Au) honeycomb nano-network on Si(111)7×7 at room temperature have been studied by direct filled-state and empty-state imaging by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The gold honeycomb structure is made up of six triangular gold clusters around the corner hole interconnected to one another in the dimer rows of the Si(111)7×7 substrate.
متن کاملTriangular Self-Assembly
We discuss the self-assembly system of triangular tiles instead of square tiles, in particular right triangular tiles and equilateral triangular tiles. We show that the triangular tile assembly system, either deterministic or non-deterministic, has the same power to the square tile assembly system in computation, which is Turing universal. By providing counter-examples, we show that the triangu...
متن کاملNumerical investigation on the effects of six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular configurations on fluid flow and forced convection heat transfer from a circular cylinder
The present work deals with heat transfer characteristics as well as fluid flow patterns in laminar flow regime for a circular cylinder with six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular geometries. The computations have been carried out by a finite volume approach using the overset grid method. The unsteady flow at Re= 200 and Pr= 0.7 and 7.0 was examined. The effect of the control rods ...
