    Notes: We present the results of a combined He atom and x-ray diffraction study of CH3(CH2)n−1SH monolayers self assembled on Au(111) surfaces. By combining these two complementary probes, we have characterized both the surface and the interior structure of the monolayers. In both cases, we find the same structure containing four molecules per unit mesh. However, we demonstrate that there are significant differences in both the diffraction linewidths and the dependence of the linewidth upon chain length for these two techniques.

    Notes: We report the observation by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy atom diffraction, of new, striped, structures at the surface of monolayers of n-alkane thiols [CH3 (CH2)n−1 SH with n=8,10,12] self-assembled on the (111) face of single crystal gold. These structures can be prepared by slow (room temperature) or thermally accelerated treatment of the well known c(4(square root of)3×2(square root of)3)R 30° phase formed by self-assembly in solution, or can be accessed directly by molecular beam deposition. With respect to the unit mesh of the gold substrate, the new striped structures can be described as p×(square root of)3 overlayers where 7.5≤p≤13. The discovery of these phases has implications for the understanding of the growth mechanisms and the pursuit of applications of this widely studied class of materials. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report on a new, more precise structural characterization of n-octadecane thiol monolayer self-assembled on the UHV-prepared Au(001) surface using a combination of helium atom diffraction, grazing incidence x-ray diffraction, and x-ray reflectivity measurements. Our results show that the equilibrated alkane chains form a two dimensional distorted hexagonal structure with lattice constants a=5.77±0.06 A(ring), b=4.81±0.02 A(ring), and α=53.1±0.46°. The alkane chains are tilted 33.5±1.0° from the surface normal and the tilt direction is ∼6.8±1.0° away from the elongated next-nearest-neighbor direction. The Au–thiol interface is found to have an unusual p(1×4) structure formed by an excess of Au atoms, which are believed to be produced in the dereconstruction process of the clean hexagonal Au(001) surface during the chemisorption of thiols. We propose that this Au interfacial layer modulates the height of the alkane chains resulting in a highly corrugated top surface, which forms a c(2×8) structure as observed by atom diffraction. These structural findings reveal a novel interplay between the head group/substrate interaction and the interchain van der Waals interaction which determines not only the alkane chain packing but also the structure of the interfacial layer of the substrate. Our studies also demonstrate that rich, complementary structural information can be obtained about the topmost surface, the chain packing, the interface arrangement, and the substrate of this and similar systems by the combination of atomic beam and synchrotron x-ray characterization techniques. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report the results of measurements of the cross section as a function of wavelength (351, 248, and 193 nm) for photoinitiated dissociative electron attachment to three normal alkyl bromides [CH3(CH2)n−1Br, n=1, 2, and 3] physisorbed on GaAs(110). Upon UV exposure, the molecules undergo C–Br bond cleavage due to a substrate-mediated electron-transfer process. The cross sections for all three molecules increase monotonically with decreasing wavelength. Our results suggest a ∼1 eV higher threshold for dissociation of ethyl and propyl bromide than for methyl bromide. A simple model of the electron-transfer process is employed to estimate the peak per-electron cross section for dissociative attachment in the monolayer. We find that the cross sections for the physisorbed molecules are approximately five times smaller than those for gas-phase molecules, due to a reduction in the lifetime of the molecular anion in the vicinity of the surface. In addition, we also find an increase in cross section with chain length very similar to that observed in the gas phase; the gas-phase behavior has been explained by an increase in the anion lifetime with chain length. Our results suggest that while quenching of the molecular anion at the surface is important, it does not eliminate the progression of anion lifetime with chain length. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The wavelength dependence of photoinduced dissociation of CH3Br via dissociative electron attachment (DEA) of "hot" electrons for one monolayer CH3Br adsorbed on GaAs(110) has been measured. The cross section for dissociation is found to decrease monotonically by two orders of magnitude as the incident wavelength is varied from 308 to 550 nm. There is an apparent threshold near 490 nm (2.5 eV), well below the gas phase photodissociation threshold near 250 nm (5.0 eV), but in good agreement with a simple estimate based on expected values for the decrease in the photoemission threshold and the lowering of the molecular affinity level upon adsorption of CH3Br on a semiconductor surface. The observed threshold is found to move to higher energy as dissociation of the monolayer proceeds. Based on the work of Hasselbrink and co-workers [F. Weik, A. de Meijere, and E. Hasselbrink, J. Chem. Phys. 99, 682 (1993)], a simple theoretical model is developed which considers the tunneling of hot electrons through the interfacial barrier between the physisorbed CH3Br and the GaAs. The results of our theoretical model in conjunction with those of earlier ab initio calculations [S. Black, R. Friesner, P. H. Lu, and R. M. Osgood, Jr., Surf. Sci. 382, 154 (1997)] suggest that the adsorbate affinity level is centered at ∼0.6 eV above the (adsorbate- modified) vacuum level of the substrate. This value corresponds to a ∼1.8 eV stabilization of the negative ion resonance upon adsorption. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
