چکیده
Hydrogen adsorption on the InP (001)-(231) reconstruction has been characterized by vibrational spectroscopy and ab initio calculations with density functional theory. The (231) surface is covered with a complete layer of phosphorus dimers. The clean and hydrogen-terminated dimers have been modeled by In5P4Hx clusters with the proper number of covalent and dative bonds to accurately represent the surface of interest. The optimized molecular cluster of the unreacted dimer reveals that it has one filled and one partially filled dangling bond. Hydrogen atoms attack the P-P dimers forming terminal and coupled phosphorushydrogen bonds, and the predicted vibrational frequencies of these species are in excellent agreement with the infrared spectra. All the observed vibrational modes can be assigned to species containing one, two, and three hydrogen bonds ~i.e., PH, HP-PH, and PH1PH2! per surface dimer.

Hydrogen adsorption on the indium-rich indium phosphide (001) surface: a novel way to produce bridging In-H-In bonds.
The indium phosphide (001) surface provides a unique chemical environment for studying the reactivity of hydrogen toward the electron-deficient group IIIA element, indium. Hydrogen adsorption on the In-rich delta(2 x 4) reconstruction produced a neutral, covalently bound bridging indium hydride. Using vibrational spectroscopy and ab initio cluster calculations, two types of bridging hydrides we...
متن کاملKinetics of tertiarybutylphosphine adsorption and phosphorus desorption from indium phosphide (001)
The kinetics of tertiarybutylphosphine adsorption and phosphorus desorption from indium phosphide (001) have been determined using reflectance difference spectroscopy for real-time monitoring of the phosphorus coverage. The precursor adsorption rate depends linearly on the coverage, and the initial sticking coefficient varies from 0.007 to 0.001 as the temperature increases from 420 to 520 C. T...

The oxidation of anionand cation-rich indium phosphide ~001! has been investigated by exposure to unexcited molecular oxygen. Indium phosphide oxidation is an activated process and strongly structure sensitive. The In-rich d(234) surface reacts with oxygen at 300 K and above. Core level x-ray photoemission spectra have revealed that the O2 dissociatively chemisorbs onto the d(234), inserting in...

Phosphine and tertiarybutylphosphine adsorption on the indium-rich InP (001)-(2 · 4) surface at 25 C have been studied by internal reflection infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and low energy electron diffraction. Both molecules form a dative bond to the empty dangling bonds on the In–P heterodimers and the second-layer In–In dimers and vibrate symmetrically at 2319 (2315)...
