Scanning tunnelling microscopy study of Au growth on Mo(110)

Advanced Characterisation Techniques for Nanostructures

“…Krupski utilised STM to determine the growth of ultra-thin Au films deposited on a Mo (110) substrate at high temperatures (300k) [21]. They found that by using differing Au depositions, they were able to determine the morphology of the Au layers.…”

“…They found that by using differing Au depositions, they were able to determine the morphology of the Au layers. This allowed for terracing with a width of 25-180nm to be characterised on the surface [21]. More recently Huerta et al (2016) investigated the multilayer growth of 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) on an iodine-modified Au (100) substrate.…”

Growth morphology of thin films on metallic and oxide surfaces

“…The first two-dimensional disordered gold layer was completed in the manner predicted from the previous AES, LEED, and TDS experimental [19,[182][183] and theoretical [184] studies. In addition, it was not possible to identify further positions of the gold islands in the first layer because of the observed per-coalescence effect [185][186][187][188][189][190][191][192] [18].

“…Until now, the surface structures and growth modes of various adsorbate metals (e.g. Cu [3], Co [4], Fe [5], Ni [6], Mg [7], Ba [8], K [9], S [10], In [11], Ag [12][13][14][15][16][17], Au [18][19], Sn [20][21], Pb [22][23][24][25], etc.) on the Mo (110) substrates have been investigated by a variety of experimental and theoretical methods in a number of works.…”

Recently, the formation of oxide layers on transition metal (TM) surfaces has also received considerable attention [26][27][28][29], including the Mo (110) surface [30,31].…”
