Surface Alloys of Immiscible Metals
Surface Alloys and Alloy Surfaces
Author:
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080542123
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
DescriptionSurface Alloys and Alloy Surfaces is concerned with the structural, compositional, electronic and chemical properties of the surfaces of solids in which the surface layers, at least are alloyed. Two different categories of system are covered - the surfaces of bulk alloys (alloy surfaces) and surface phases in which one or more outermost atomic layers are alloyed, while the underlying bulk involves no such intermixing (surface alloys).Importance of TopicThe surfaces of bulk alloys have long been known to be of practical interest for their chemical properties. It has also long been known that the surface composition of such alloys commonly differs from that of the underlying bulk. However, our understanding of these chemical and physical phenomena is far from complete and the application of surface science methods to investigate these phenomena is a manifestation of a general trend to study the surfaces of increasing complexity. Surface alloy formation, as a much more recently recognized phenomenon deserves more attention.Why This TitleThis title is important as it provides new insights into a mixture of new and old problems. It is the first to cover the important mixture of material on surface alloys and alloy surfaces. Each chapter is written by experts in different areas of these two interrelated topics, covering theory and experiment, physics and chemistry, geometrical and electronic structure. The coverage of the surface alloy topic is especially novel as it is relatively newly-recognised as quite a common phenomenon.

Growth of Au on Ni(110)

ISBN: 9781729016220
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
Recent experiments using scanning tunneling microscopy show evidence for the formation of surface alloys of otherwise immiscible metals. Such is the case for Au deposited in Ni(11), where experiments by Pleth Nielsen et al. indicate that at low Au coverage (less than 0.5 ML), Au atoms replace Ni atoms in the surface layer forming a surface alloy while the Ni atoms form islands on the surface. In this work, we present results of a theoretical modeling of this phenomenon using the recently developed BFS method for alloys. We provide results of an extensive analysis of the growth process which strongly support the conclusions drawn from the experiment; at very low coverages, there is tendency for dimer formation on the overlayer, which later exchange positions with Ni atoms in the surface layer, thus accounting for the large number of substituted dimers. Ni island formations as well as other alternative short range order patterns are discussed. Bozzolo, Guillermo and Ibanez-Meier, Rodrigo and Ferrante, John Glenn Research Center NAS3-25776; RTOP 505-90-53...

Growth and Properties of Ultrathin Epitaxial Layers
Author:
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080532675
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 673
Book Description
Although there has been steady progress in understanding aspects of epitaxial growth throughout the last 30 years of modern surface science, work in this area has intensified greatly in the last 5 years. A number of factors have contributed to this expansion. One has been the general trend in surface science to tackle problems of increasing complexity as confidence is gained in the methodology, so for example, the role of oxide/metal interfaces in determining the properties of many practical supported catalysts is now being explored in greater detail. A second factor is the recognition of the potential importance of artificial multilayer materials not only in semiconductor devices but also in metal/metal systems because of their novel magnetic properties. Perhaps even more important than either of these application areas, however, is the newly-discovered power of scanning probe microscopies, and most notably scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), to provide the means to study epitaxial growth phenomena on an atomic scale under a wide range of conditions. These techniques have also contributed to revitalised interest in methods of fabricating and exploiting artificial structures (lateral as well as in layers) on a nanometre scale. This volume, on Growth and Properties of Ultrathin Epitaxial Layers, includes a collection of articles which reflects the present state of activity in this field. The emphasis is on metals and oxides rather than semiconductors.
