Modeling the phase boundaries in Cu(100)-(2√2 × √2)R45°-O missing row reconstruction (MRR) structure
Although the structure of Cu(100)-()R45°-O missing row reconstruction (MRR) has been well-established for decades, the detailed structure of its various boundaries remains an untilled area due to the difficulties in obtaining atomically resolved images. Herein, atomic arrangement of the phase boundaries existing in MRR structure was modeled on the basis of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) investigations. By determining the periodicity and unit structure of MRR in STM images and extending them to boundary region, several types of phase boundaries were identified, resulted respectively from: (1) the mismatch between c(2 × 2)-O patches, (2) the regulation by step edges, and (3) the mismatch between Cu missing rows (MRs). With the modeled structure, it was revealed that the types of the c(2 × 2)-O mismatch induced phase boundaries (OMIPBs) are mainly dominated by the oxygen exposure and in-diffusion barrier. The step edge regulated phase boundaries (SERPBs) are always terminated with Cu-O chain and may represent an intermediate growth stage to larger MRR structure. Comparatively, Cu MRs mismatch is often reconciled by the differently oriented domains between them. As a result, the Cu MRs mismatch induced phase boundaries (CMRMIPBs) are only occasionally observed as Cu-O chains between mismatched Cu MRs that encounter shoulder-to-shoulder. For all studied boundaries, the surrounding MRR domains exhibit obvious orientation preference through inclined packing along the SP direction with the degree closely related with the width of the boundaries.
期刊介绍:
Surface Science is devoted to elucidating the fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics occurring at a wide range of surfaces and interfaces and to disseminating this knowledge fast. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:
• model systems (e.g. in Ultra High Vacuum) under well-controlled reactive conditions
• nanoscale science and engineering, including manipulation of matter at the atomic/molecular scale and assembly phenomena
• reactivity of surfaces as related to various applied areas including heterogeneous catalysis, chemistry at electrified interfaces, and semiconductors functionalization
• phenomena at interfaces relevant to energy storage and conversion, and fuels production and utilization
• surface reactivity for environmental protection and pollution remediation
• interactions at surfaces of soft matter, including polymers and biomaterials.
Both experimental and theoretical work, including modeling, is within the scope of the journal. Work published in Surface Science reaches a wide readership, from chemistry and physics to biology and materials science and engineering, providing an excellent forum for cross-fertilization of ideas and broad dissemination of scientific discoveries.
