Deprotonation of the carboxy groups of 1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylic acid adsorbed on the Ag(111) surface occurs in the presence of a dilute 2D Cu adatom gas at the surface, while negligible reaction rates occur under similar conditions with Cu in the form of condensed monolayer islands. These results demonstrate that highly mobile adatoms. The adatom electron states are subsequently identified in tunneling spectra at room temperature to obtain their energy unaffected by electron transport limitations at low temperature. We use variable temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy to determine the space and energy structure of the adatom electron band of the Si(111)-7×7 surface. A new state of radical thermal non-equilibrium in surface adsorbed molecules is discovered that enables rapid surface diffusion of energized adatoms with a negligible effect on the substrate surface temperature. Due to enhanced surface diffusion, growth rates can be achieved that improve the feasibility of m.

Microscopic models for adatom dynamics

Abstract

Diffusion and vibration of adsorbates on a surface is a central problem in theoretical physics and it is critical to a variety of technological applications. In this dissertation we present a microscopic Hamiltonian model to investigate two fundamental aspects of surface dynamics. First, we analyze a single adatom nonlinearly coupled to substrate excitations. Second, we study the collective motion of alkali atoms adsorbed on a metal surface. In the case of a single adatom dynamics, most of the theoretical work has focused on physical systems where the substrate excitation time scale is much shorter than the time scale of the motion of the adatom, and memory effects are not important. Here we focus on the regime in which memory effects cannot be neglected. Using molecular dynamics we study the frustrated translational mode and the diffusion constant of the adatom. The results are analyzed in three different regimes: when the substrate time scale is faster, comparable or slower than the adatom vibrational period. In the first case, we recover the results previously known. In the other regimes, we investigate the effects of the adatom-substrate coupling on the diffusion activation barrier, the prefactor, and the vibrational properties of the adatom. Finally, we discuss our numerical results in the context of a generalized Langevin equation, and we examine the validity of analytic approximations to the memory function such as mode-mode coupling and initial value approximation. For the finite coverage study, we present results for diffusion and vibration of a system of interacting sodium atoms on a copper surface. This work has been motivated by new experimental data recently obtained with helium scattering technique. Our model includes an effective adsorbate-substrate potential as well as a repulsive dipole-dipole adsorbate-adsorbate interaction. We calculate the tracer and collective activation barrier for diffusion for a wide range of coverages. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the barriers obtained from helium scattering measurements. Furthermore, by including the dipolarization effects at higher coverage our model reproduces the large shift as well as the width of the vibrational peak observed experimentally.
