Perfluoropentacene thin films on Au(111) surfaces: Effect of kinetic energy and vibrational properties

2022-06-01
We studied vibrational properties and the effect of beam kinetic energy on perfluoropentacene (PFP) thin films grown by supersonic molecular beam deposition (SMBD) technique on gold surfaces. Though similar growth mechanism was observed for different beam kinetic energies, in the case of low coverage (less than 1 monolayer) films and for low deposition rates significant differences were observed in the properties of films grown by using helium and argon carrier gasses with the former case resulting in higher average grain size. For multilayer films however there were no significant differences between helium and argon grown films. Vibrational properties were investigated by using Infrared Scattering-type Scanning Nearfield Optical Microscopy (s-SNOM) on clean and m-carborane-1-thiol (M1) coated template-stripped gold (TSAu) substrates. For both substrates thick PFP films (15 nm) had similar spectra whereas there were significant differences in the spectra of thin films (1 nm) due to PFP-substrate interactions. Davydov splitting of the IR modes were observed for both 1 nm and 15 nm films indicating similar molecular arrangements in both type of films.

Study on the Effect of Chemically Different Substrates on Nucleation and Growth Mechanism of Perfluoropentacene Thin Films
Yavuz, Adem; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-08-15)
We studied the effect of chemical properties of substrates on the structural properties of perfluoropentacene (PFP) thin films grown by the supersonic molecular beam deposition technique. To this end, we have used m-carborane-1-thiol, template-stripped gold, and mica substrate surfaces and investigated the PFP film properties as a function of film thickness and molecular flux (deposition rate). On all three substrates, the PFP molecules adsorb in standing-up orientation in the first layer and overlayers. Ho...
Electron-phonon scattering in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes
Park, JY; Rosenblatt, S; Yaish, Y; Sazonova, V; Toffoli, Hande; Braig, S; Arias, TA; Brouwer, PW; McEuen, PL (2004-03-01)
Electron scattering rates in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied using an atomic force microscope as an electrical probe. From the scaling of the resistance of the same nanotube with length in the low- and high-bias regimes, the mean-free paths for both regimes are inferred. The observed scattering rates are consistent with calculations for acoustic-phonon scattering at low biases and zone boundary/optical phonon scattering at high biases.
Optical properties of Cu3In5S9 single crystals by spectroscopic ellipsometry
Işık, Mehmet; Nasser, H.; Ahmedova, F.; Guseinov, A.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2018-01-01)
Cu3In5S9 single crystals were investigated by structural methods of x-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy and optical techniques of ellipsometry and reflection carried out at room temperature. The spectral dependencies of optical constants; dielectric function, refractive index and extinction coefficient, were plotted in the range of 1.2-6.2 eV from ellipsometric data. The spectra of optical constants obtained from ellipsometry analyses and reflectance spectra presented a sharp change around ...
Electric dipole moments of charged leptons and lepton flavor violating interactions in the general two Higgs doublet model
Iltan, EO (American Physical Society (APS), 2001-07-01)
We calculate the electric dipole moment of the electron using the experimental result of the muon electric dipole moment and upper limit of the BR(mu-->e gamma) in the framework of the general two Higgs doubler model. Our prediction is 10(-32) e cm, which lies in the experimental current limits. Further, we obtain constraints for the Yukawa couplings )over bar>(D)(N,taue) and )over bar>(D)(N,tau mu). Finally, we present an expression which connects the BR(tau-->mu gamma) and the electric dipole moment of th...

Boron nitride (BN) thin film was grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique and was investigated by UV-Visible transmission, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and ac conductance spectroscopies. Mainly the density of electronic localized states (D-it) at BN/Si interface was obtained by continuum and statistical models of ac conductance through an MIS structure (Al/BN film/Si). The origins of the electronic defects have been outlined and discussed within the frame of a nitrogen defic...
