中文简介:
在过去的十年中,在极其干净和稳定的条件下运行的STM成为一种非常强大的纳米技术工具。它不仅用于探测单个原子和分子,还用于将单个物种置换,分解和组装成新的人造纳米结构1。它们通过精确控制STM尖端与样品之间的量子力学相互作用而在一个原子接一个原子的过程中形成。这样的实验需要低温(低于20 K),原子清洁(压力低于10 11 hPa)和适当整齐的表面(由LEED和AES控制)以及尖端样品隧道结的极强机械和电稳定性。提出的实验是用液态氦冷却的家用Besocke型UHV STM进行的。通过反复离子溅射和退火循环清洁的Cu(111)和(112)单晶表面用作衬底,而STM电极头是通过在2M NaOH中对多晶W线进行电控刻蚀来制备的。通过在相对较高的隧穿偏置电压下将尖端受控浸入铜表面,可以从基板表面提取铜的单个吸附原子。单个原子以受控方式被操纵成所需的纳米结构。将亚单层量的Co从Knudsen源沉积到干净的Cu基板上。在室温下沉积的钴原子已经在沉积过程中形成团聚体,但是可以通过尖端样品相互作用将其在较低温度下分离为单个吸附原子。 STS用锁定技术研究了Cu和Co的电子结构。与LDOS成正比的差分电导(dI / dV)光谱是完全可重现的,可用于区分Cu和Co物种。
课程简介: STM, operated under extremely clean and stable conditions became in the last decade a very powerful nanotechnological tool. It is not only used to probe individual atoms and molecules but also to displace, decompose and assemble individual species into new artificial nanostructures1. These are formed in an atom-by-atom process by precisely controlling the quantum-mechanical interactions between the STM tip and the sample. Such experiments require cryogenic temperatures (below 20 K), atomically clean (pressure below 10-11 hPa) and properly ordered surfaces (controlled by LEED and AES) as well as extreme mechanical and electrical stability of the tip-sample tunneling junction. The experiments presented were performed with a home-built Besocke type UHV STM, cooled with liquid helium. Cu (111) and (112) single crystal surfaces, cleaned by repeated cycles of ion sputtering and annealing, were used as substrates, while STM tips were prepared by electronically controlled etching of polycrystalline W wires in 2M NaOH. Single adatoms of Cu were extracted from the substrate surface by a controlled dipping of the tip into the Cu surface under relatively high tunneling bias voltages. Individual adatoms were manipulated in a controlled manner into desired nanostructures. Submonolayer amounts of Co were deposited onto clean Cu substrates from a Knudsen source. Co atoms, deposited at room-temperature, form agglomerates during deposition already, but can be separated at lower temperatures into individual adatoms by means of the tip-sample interaction. The electronic structures of both, Cu and Co were studied by STS with the lock-in technique2. Differential conductance (dI/dV) spectra, proportional to LDOS, are fully reproducible and can be used to differentiate between Cu and Co species.
