AbstractThe adsorption and reaction of titanium tetrachloride (TiC14) on W(100) was investigated using temperature programmed desorption mass spectrometry (TPRS), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). TiC14 adsorbs molecularly on W(100) at 100 K. Desorption from the molecularly bound state occurs near 220 K. Competing with desorption is dissociation to adsorbed TiCl3, which reacts to form gaseous TiCl4 near 450 K. TiC13 also decomposes into atomically adsorbed Ti and Cl on the surface upon heating to 700 K.

ABSTRACTThe laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) of Fe and W on Si(lll)-(7×7) was investigated under ultrahigh vacuum conditions at 120 K. Multiple internal reflection Fourier transform infrared and Auger electron spectroscopies and temperature programmed desorption and low energy electron diffraction were used to study the adsorption and decomposition of Fe(C0)5 and w(C0)6 on the surface. Neither of the molecules thermally reacts in temperature programmed desorption experiments. Reversible molecular desorption is exclusively observed. Decomposition of both molecules via electronic excitation was induced by ultraviolet, but not visible photons. This was shown by measuring the photodecomposition yield as a function of wavelength. Visible photolysis (λ=720 nm) had no observable effect on either molecule. No surface stable, partially decarbonylated, Fe(C0), x<5, fragments observable with infrared spectroscopy were produced by photolysis. Also, no new features were observed in temperature programmed desorption experiments and only iron was detected on the surface after photolysis. In contrast, initial results indicate that photolysis of W(C0)fi does produce surface stable, W(C0), x<6, fragments.

AbstractGe is deposited on HfO2 surfaces by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with GeH4. 0.7-1.0 ML GeHx (x = 0-3) is deposited by thermally cracking GeH4 on a hot tungsten filament. Ge oxidation and bonding are studied at 300-1000 K with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Ge, GeH, GeO, and GeO2 desorption are measured with temperature programmed desorption (TPD) at 400-1000 K. Ge initially reacts with the dielectric forming an oxide layer followed by Ge deposition and formation of nanocrystals in CVD at 870 K. 0.7-1.0 ML GeHx deposited by cracking rapidly forms a contacting oxide layer on HfO2 that is stable from 300-800 K. Ge is fully removed from the HfO2 surface after annealing to 1000 K. These results help explain the stability of Ge nanocrystals in contact with HfO2.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) coupled with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and optical transmission spectroscopy (OTS) has been used for the characterization of silicon-carbon alloys (a-Si1−xCx: H, F) deposited via plasma, by varying the CH4 amount in SiF4–CH4–H2 feeding mixture. XPS measurements have shown that carbon-rich a-Si1−xCx: H, F alloys include large amounts of fluorine (>11 at. %), which make the films susceptible to the air oxidation. In addition, the effect of the alloying partner carbon on the valence band (VB) and on the VB edge position of amorphous silicon is also described.

We have used high-energy X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and diffraction (XPS/XPD), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) to determine the molecular orientation, long-range order, vibrational frequencies, and desorption temperatures for formic acid and its decomposition products on TiO 2(110). Molecular adsorption occurs at coverages approaching one monolayer, producing a weakly ordered (2 × 1) surface structure. High-energy XPD reveals that the formate binds rigidly in a bidentate fashion through the oxygens to Ti cation rows along the [001] direction with an O–C–O bond angle of 126 ± 4°. During TPD some surface protons and formate anions recombine and desorb as formic acid above 250 K. However, most of the decomposition products follow reaction pathways leading to H 2 O , CO and H 2 CO desorption. Water is formed in TPD below 500 K via the abstraction of lattice oxygen by deposited acid protons.

B–C–N compounds were prepared on molybdenum by means of bias-assisted hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD). Effect of the substrate temperature (Ts) on the growth of B–C–N films has been investigated systematically by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) based on the detailed analysis and calculation of the XPS. The substrate temperature plays a key role in the formation of the bonding states, the composition, and the surface morphology. Boron carbonitride is the main phase at all depositing temperatures, and the obtained compounds are as follows: B0.83C0.17 + B0.39C0.35N0.26 at 873 K, B0.30C0.34N0.36 at 973 K, B0.64C0.36 + B0.51C0.23N0.26 at 1073 K, B0.51C0.31N0.18 at 1173 K, and B0.37C0.54N0.09 at 1273 K.

ABSTRACTThe growth of ZnO nanotubes and nanosquids is obtained by conventional thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) without the use of catalysts or templates. Characterization of these ZnO nanostructures was conducted by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL). Results indicate that these ZnO nanostructures maintain the crystalline structures of the bulk wurtzite ZnO crystals. Our results show that rapid cooling can be used to induce the formation of ZnO nanotubes and ZnO nanosquids. The self-assembly of these novel ZnO nanostructures are guided by the theory of nucleation and the vapor-solid crystal growth mechanism.
