Full textThe progress of non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy (nc-AFM) in the last decade enabled studying the structural and electronic properties of molecules at the submolecular scale. The process of tip functionalization relying in attaching single atoms or molecules to the tip apex demonstrated an enhanced resolution in both STM and AFM images, such that the chemical structures of many different molecules deposited on metallic surfaces have been resolved. However, few studies have been presented on a semiconductor surface so far. In this work, we study the formation of molecular self-assemblies on the passivated surface of boron doped silicon Si(111)-(√3x√3)R30°-B by combined STM/nc-AFM with Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM). The experiments have been performed on the Joule-Thomson Scanning Probe Microscope (SPECS), working in ultra high vacuum at temperature of 4 K, using a high stiffness sensor (Kolibri, k=540 kN/m, f0=1 MHz). The investigated molecules are: 1-(4’cyanophenyl)-2,5-bis(decyloxy)-4-(4’-iodophenyl)benzene (CDB-I), which possess two aliphatic chains attached to a triphenyl core ended with two different terminations (either iodine or cyano group) and non-polar 1,4 bis(4'cyanophenyl)-2,5bis(decyloxy)benzene (CDB) molecule, with two identical cyano group terminations. The first main objective of this work was to verify the sensitivity of the Kolibri sensor in the charge detection. KPFM measurements of boron doped silicon defects are presented, showing different charge states for dangling bond (DB), silicon vacancy and buried boron dopant defects. A positive charge state is found for the DB, in accordance with previous STM studies. The surface potential of this defect constitutes a reference value of a single charge on the surface. The second objective of this thesis was to obtain submolecular resolution in topography and electrical imaging on molecules, without intentional tip functionalization. A submolecular contrast is observed in the frequency shift images of single molecules with identification of the three-phenyl core and details of the aliphatic chains. Moreover, a high resolution is obtained in the surface potential images from KPFM measurements as well. Depending on type of the adsorption of molecule on the surface, two different KPFM contrasts are distinguished. Lastly, the comparison of organization in the assemblies is done for both CDB and CDB-I molecules. A similar organization is found for both molecules in nc-AFM images. The asymmetry of the nc-AFM topography and KPFM map of CDB-I molecules indicates the dipolar organization along a given assembly row

Full textIn recent years, new techniques have emerged to control the charge of individual nano-objects (atom, molecule, metal aggregate or semiconductor, etc.) deposited on insulating substrates. This achievement has been made possible by the refinement of Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Atomic Force (AFM) methods. By combining these tools, the precursors succeeded in controlling the state of charge of a gold atom deposited on a NaCl (001) bilayer on a Cu (111) substrate. Subsequently, this type of manipulation has been extended to molecular systems, in particular at the CEMES with Cu(dbm)2. This subject is part of the continuity of these studies. The objective was to analyze the impact of the increase of the thickness of the insulating film on the charge mechanisms. This problem requires a quantification of the state of the system charge as well as a measurement of the insulation thickness. In this work, we have been able to study KBr and NaCl films deposited on Cu(111) and Ag(111) surfaces. For these studies, whether in tunnel current (STM) or force gradient (NC-AFM), the control of the tip state is essential. When working on an insulating substrate, the tip tends to collect contaminants that change their electronic properties. However, to charge a system in a reproducible way, we must imperatively control the metallicity of the apex. This control requires a frequent re-preparation of the tip on a metal surface, difficult to find in the case of a thick film. To overcome this scarcity, we have implemented a deposition mask allowing a control of the gradient of the thickness of the insulating film while preserving clean metal zones. This allowed us to carry out our measurements with a better controlled state of the tip. The instability of the tip state has also led us to perform Z (V) regulated current spectroscopies. By controlling this current, it is then possible to minimize the interaction between the tip and the insulating film, thus making the tip last longer. These Z (V) spectroscopies also make it possible to increase the measurement voltage until reaching the field emission regime. We have observed a variation of the modulation of the field emission resonances (FER) amplitude as a function of the thickness of the insulating film. [...]

Full textThe objective of this thesis is the study of the growth of silicene on silver substrates as well as its reactivity towards the oxygen. The growth was performed under ultra-high vacuum and controlled by Auger electrons spectroscopy (AES) and low energy electrons diffraction (LEED). The obtained structures and their relativities towards the oxygen were studied by near field microscopy (STM and nc-AFM) and by angle resolved electrons photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We have studied the internal structure of the selfassembled silicene nanoribbons on Ag(110) substrate. On Ag(111), we have obtained a silicene sheet presenting different structures versus the temperature of the substrate. The reactivity of silicene nanoribbons and sheets grown on silver show that silicene is relatively stable towards the oxygen which opens a new perspectives of functionalization of the silicene. The last part of this thesis concerns the synthesis of silicone sheets by chemical process. We have develpped a new promising process of chemical synthesis which allowed us to synthesize silicon sheets with graphitic structure

Full textIn this thesis, we report the results obtained with the growth of highly crystalline and stable supramolecular assemblies at room temperature on insulating surfaces of bulk alkali halides single crystals. The objective of this study is to structurally characterize these self-assembled networks and understand all the interaction forces involved in the growth and diffusion processes. This is performed by joint non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) experiments in ultrahigh vacuum and theoretical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics. We show how well-defined parameters for the choice of the molecule on the one hand such as size, shape, symmetry, flexibility and functionality, and the choice of the substrate on the other hand, influence the morphology growth and serve to steer the structure and diffusion properties of such systems

Full textUsing molecules able to execute functions found in microelectronic components is one of the current challenges of nanosciences and molecular electronics. The most suited technique to observe single molecules and predict their behavior is Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) in ultra-high vacuum and at low temperature. This thesis is a part of a project dedicated to the synthesis and observation of a molecule composed by four ruthenium cores and able to act as a molecular logic gate. We choose to investigate different molecules which come from the first steps in the synthesis of this compound. They are 3D systems composed by one or two ruthenium cores and were adsorbed on metallic surfaces (as Ag(111), Cu(111) and Au(111)) as well as on ultrathin films of NaCl. Two kinds of molecules were studied: the first ones are composed by ruthenium atoms with an oxidation state of III and the other ones have ruthenium atoms with an oxidation state of II. Specific behaviors of each type of molecules are highlighted, concerning particularly their electronic properties. Manipulations using the STM tip were also performed to explore the adsorption geometries. In the future, these investigations should carry on with the charge state measurement on a metallic atom in an extremely complex molecule. The first results performed on model molecules show that perylene derivative compounds are fully adapted to this type of measurements. Moreover, according to the peripheral group, it is possible to deprotonate the molecule to favor the presence of local charges and create a model system under the STM tip

Full textThis thesis deals with the study of the influence of the structure of matter at the atomic scale on its macroscopic properties. Thereto, the IM2NP Nanostructuration team masters the synthesis and characterization of functionalized organic nanostructureson solid surfaces. Specifically, this work focuses on the study of the structural and optical properties of organic nanostructures grown on dielectric single-crystalline alkaly halides substrates under ultra-high vacuum and ambient temperature. Experiments are carried out by non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy (structural properties) and by Differential Reflectance Spectroscopy (optical properties of UV-visible absorption). Two distinct growth regimes have been investigated, with different molecules each. The first system involves supramolecular nanostructures of bis-pyrenes molecules grown on KCl(001) and NaCl(001). The combined study of their structural and optical properties, from the sub-monolayer to the multilayer regime, allows us to quantitatively extract the dielectric function of the layers at the different stages of their growth. The second system deals with a more recent topic in the surface science community, namely on-surface synthesis. In this case, upon adsorption, the molecules bind together covalently, which results in nanostructures that are more cohesive than in the supramolecular regime. We have evidenced the formation of covalent structures by free-radical polymers of dimaleimide on KCl(001) under UV illumination
