Abstract:

Corrosion inhibition by 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) at the surface termination of various types of grain boundaries (GBs) was studied at the nanometer scale on microcrystalline copper in HCl acid solution using <em>in situ</em> electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (ECSTM). Macroscopic electrochemical analysis by cyclic voltammetry showed highly effective inhibition of Cu(I) active dissolution blocked by MBT pre-adsorption in a potential range of 0.15-0.2 V. ECSTM analysis of the initial stages of intergranular corrosion confirmed the mitigation of net intergranular dissolution by the pre-adsorbed MBT surface layer but also revealed the local accumulation of reaction products in the GB regions. For Coincidence Site Lattice boundaries other than coherent twins, intergranular dissolution, mitigated by the pre-adsorbed MBT layer, and protection by intergranular formation of a film of reaction products were observed. For random GBs, protection by reaction products was dominant, in agreement with their more reactive intrinsic character, generating more Cu(I) ions under anodic polarization and thus promoting the formation of a protective film of reaction products. Coherent twins did not show preferential intergranular reactivity compared to adjacent grains, indicating equally strong efficiency than on grains. These results bring new insight on how inhibition operates locally at various types of GBs.

Abstract:

The initial stages of the anodic oxidation of Au(111) were investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry as well as in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The results suggest that the place exchange process, which initiates the oxide formation, starts at step edges. The oxide phase was imaged in situ by scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The topographic information acquired by the two techniques is compared. Keywords: gold, gold oxide, corrosion, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Abstract:

We present the design, implementation, and illustrative results of a light collection/injection strategy based on an off-axis parabolic mirror collector for a low-temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). This device allows us to perform STM induced Light Emission (STM-LE) and Cathodoluminescence (STM-CL) experiments and in situ Photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectroscopy as complementary techniques. Considering the Étendue conservation and using an off-axis parabolic mirror, it is possible to design a light collection and injection system that displays 72% of collection efficiency (considering the hemisphere above the sample surface) while maintaining high spectral resolution and minimizing signal loss. The performance of the STM is tested by atomically resolved images and scanning tunneling spectroscopy results on standard sample surfaces. The capabilities of our system are demonstrated by performing STM-LE on metallic surfaces and two-dimensional semiconducting samples, observing both plasmonic and excitonic emissions. In addition, we carried out in situ PL measurements on semiconducting monolayers and quantum dots and in situ Raman on graphite and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) samples. Additionally, STM-CL and PL were obtained on monolayer h-BN gathering luminescence spectra that are typically associated with intragap states related to carbon defects. The results show that the flexible and efficient light injection and collection device based on an off-axis parabolic mirror is a powerful tool to study several types of nanostructures with multiple spectroscopic techniques in correlation with their morphology at the atomic scale and electronic structure.

Abstract:

Scanning tunneling microscopes (STM) are used extensively for studying and manipulating matter at the atomic scale. In spite of the critical role of the STM tip, procedures for controlling the atomic-scale shape of STM tips have not been rigorously justified. Here, we present a method for preparing tips in situ while ensuring the crystalline structure and a reproducibly prepared tip structure up to the second atomic layer. We demonstrate a controlled evolution of such tips starting from undefined tip shapes.

Abstract:

: Surface science is an interdisciplinary field involving various subjects such as physics, chemistry, materials, biology and so on, and it plays an increasingly momentous role in both fundamental research and industrial applications. Despite the encouraging progress in characterizing surface/interface nanostructures with atomic and orbital precision under ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) conditions, investigating in situ reactions/processes occurring at the surface/interface under operando conditions becomes a crucial challenge in the field of surface catalysis and surface electrochemistry. Promoted by such pressing demands, high-pressure scanning tunneling microscopy (HP-STM) and ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS), for example, have been designed to conduct measurements under operando conditions on the basis of conventional scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and photoemission spectroscopy, which are proving to become powerful techniques to study various heterogeneous catalytic reactions on the surface. This report reviews the development of HP-STM and AP-XPS facilities and the application of HP-STM and AP-XPS on fine investigations of heterogeneous catalytic reactions via evolutions of both surface morphology and electronic structures, including dehydrogenation, CO oxidation on metal-based substrates, and so on. In the end, a perspective is also given regarding the combination of in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and STM towards the identification of the structure–performance relationship.

Abstract:

Image interpretation for Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is complicated by inadequate tip characterization. Tip and surface features can be difficult to separate, especially for rough surfaces. Figure 1, an STM image of a gold platelet deposited onto graphite, illustrates some of the possible problems. The doubled image of the platelet and step, for example, is a commonly encountered image artifact caused by tunneling from multiple tip asperities. The shape of the platelet(s) may also be an artifact since they are usually round. Ordinarily, to confirm the interpretation of such objects, experiments would be repeated using different tips and specimens to test for reproducibility. This is not an ideal procedure since the exact experimental conditions are difficult to duplicate. Alternatively, by comparing images of the same topography taken by STM and an independent imaging method, one can expose these artifacts.STM image artifacts were studied using an STM operating inside a Philips EM 400T TEM. This allowed imaging of the same region by Reflection Electron Microscopy (REM) and STM, independently of each other.

Abstract:

Magnetic monolayer and bilayer Co islands of only a few nanometer in size were grown by atomic deposition on atomically flat Au(111) films. The islands were studied in situ by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy at low temperatures. Spin-resolved tunneling spectroscopy, using an STM tip with a magnetic coating, revealed that the Co islands exhibit a net magnetization perpendicular to the substrate surface due to the presence of spin-polarized d-states. A random distribution of islands with either upward or downward pointing magnetization was observed, without any specific correlation of magnetization orientation with island size or island height.

Abstract:

This article investigates the proximity effect on small length and energy scales in novel low-dimensional systems using in situ fabricated superconducting nanostructures (SNSs) and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) techniques. After a brief historical review of research on superconductivity and the proximity effect, the article describes how to build a variety of in situ superconducting hybrid nanostructures and how to investigate the proximity density of states with the help of STM/STS. It then considers the proximity effect in a correlated 2D disordered metal and in diffusive SNS junctions before discussing proximity Josephson vortices. It also examines the proximity effect between two dissimilar superconductors and concludes by highlighting several fundamental problems related to proximity effect in the framework of quasiclassical microscopic Usadel theory.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter discusses various methods for tip treatment. First, a general discussion about the experimental facts of STM and AFM tips is presented, which points to the subtleties and significance of the last few atoms at the tip apex. The standard method of making an STM tip is the electrochemical etching of a tungsten wire. The experimental procedure is described in detail. The study of the tip using field-ion microscopy is outlined. The tungsten tips freshly made from electrochemical etching often do not provide atomic resolution. Ex-situ and in-situ tip treatments are necessary. Several ex-situ tip treatment methods are described, inducing annealing, field evaporation, and annealing with a field. In-situ tip treatment method such as high-field treatment and controlled collision are described. Then, tip treatment for electrochemical STM is described. Tip treatment methods for spin-polarized STM are described. Finally, tip functionalization, especially with Xe atom and CO molecule, is described.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the physical principle, design, and characterization of piezoelectric scanners, which is the heart of STM and AFM. The concept of piezoelectricity is introduced at the elementary level. Two major piezoelectric materials used in STM and AFM, quartz and lead zirconate titanate ceramics (PZT), are described. After a brief discussion of the tripod scanner and the bimorph, much emphasis is on the most important scanner in STM and AFM: the tube scanner. A step-by-step derivation of the deflection formula is presented. The in-situ testing and calibration method based on pure electrical measurements is described. The formulas of the resonance frequencies are also presented. To compensate the non-linear behavior of the tube scanner, an improved design, the S-scanner, is described. Finally, a step-by-step procedure to repole a depoled piezo is presented.

Abstract:

Abstract The Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) was applied to the observation of engineering metal surfaces in air and in aqueous solutions. It was found that STM could operate in these conditions on industrial metals such as stainless steels. STM images obtained in air and an aqueous solution were in good agreement with a high magnification scanning electron micrograph. High resolution images on the nanometer scale could be obtained in brine using STM. These results indicate the promising application of STM to corrosion research.

Abstract:

We present the design and fabrication of a MEMS device for high resolution force and displacement measurements. Both quantitative and qualitative measurements can be performed in-situ in scanning, transmission and tunneling electron microcopy (SEM, TEM and STM), where the small chamber size makes it challenging to integrate conventional force-displacement sensors. The device exploits the amplification of displacement and attenuation of structural stiffness due to buckling of slender silicon beams to obtain pico-Newton force and nanometer displacement resolution. The design uses buckling of two sets of beams of slightly different lengths to create a loading device. The amplification of the specimen deformation into the micron range enables measurement by visual inspection (optical microscope) without using complex displacement sensing mechanism. Co-fabrication of the specimen with the device is possible, thus eliminating the problems associated with alignment and positioning. The device can be used for characterization of materials such as carbon nanotube-polymer interfaces, nanoscale thin films and mechanical testing of single biological cells.
