The Solid Surface

David Tabor · Physics Bulletin · 1978

Numerous electronic techniques are now available for studying the solid surface and its interaction with gases. Detailed interpretation of the results is not easy, but much progress has been made in the last decade. In this review Professor Tabor deals mainly with recent work on surfaces of metals and semiconductors

Solid-surface luminescence analysis

Robert J. Hurtubise · OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) · 1991

We have characterized several interactions that are very important in solid-matrix luminescence. With silica gel chromatoplates and filter paper, simple equations were derived for calculating the individual contributions to the percent decrease in luminescence due to either moisture or to a quenching gas. For sodium acetate as a solid matrix and p-aminobenzoate as a model compound, it was concluded that p-aminobenzoate was incorporated into the crystal structure of sodium acetate, and the triplet energy was lost be skeletal vibrations in sodium acetate. Also, with the same system is was shown that p-aminobenzoate did not undergo rotational relaxation, and thus rotational processes did not contribute to the deactivation of the triplet state. Several results were obtained from model compounds adsorbed on filter paper under different temperature and humidity conditions and with a variety of heavy atoms present. Fundamental photophysical equations were used in calculating several basic parameters that revealed information on rate processes and how the absorbed energy was distributed in an adsorbed lumiphor. The most important advancement with filter paper was the development of equations that relate phosphorescence parameters of adsorbed phosphors to the Young's modulus of filter paper. These equations are based on a fundamental theory that relates the hydrogen-bonding network of paper to the modulus of paper.

Solid-surface electron spectroscopy

M. V. Gomoyunova · Soviet Physics Uspekhi · 1982

Electron spectroscopy (ES) of the surface of a solid comprises a set of methods of studying its elemental composition, structure, electronic structure, and dynamics. The essence of almost all the methods consists in obtaining and studying the energy spectra and angular distributions of electrons emitted by the surface of the solid upon irradiation with fluxes of photons, electrons, or ions, or upon creating a strong electric field near it. Depending on the nature of the probe, one can distinguish photoelectron, secondary-electron, ion-electron, and field spectroscopy. Each of them is realized by several methods. In practically all the methods analysis of the characteristics that are obtained consists of singling out certain unitypical elementary events of interaction of the probe agent with the surface layers of the solid. As a rule, the depth of probing is determined by the mean free path of the electron with respect to inelastic interaction. In the electron energy range from tens to approximately hundreds of electron volts in various materials, it constitutes from one to several atomic layers. In determining elemental composition, the sensitivity of most of the ES methods is approximately equal to hundredths of a monolayer. One can employ a scanning probe to obtain the distribution of the elements over the surface of the specimen. Most of the ES methods have been invented in the past decade. At present the studies in the field of surface physics are intensively developing and have great scientific and important applied significance. This review briefly treats the physical fundamentals of the ES methods, their potentialities, classifies the methods, gives examples to illustrate them, and cursorily throws light on the fundamental technical means of realizing the methods.

Surface width of the Solid-On-Solid models

H. Arisue · 1997

The low-temperature series for the surface width of the Absolute value Solid-On-Solid model and the Discrete Gaussian model both on the square lattice and on the triangular lattice are generated to high orders using the improved finite-lattice method. The series are analyzed to give the critical points of the roughening phase transition for each model. 1.

Surface Diffusion in the Solid-on-Solid Model

Peter C. Searson, Rong Li, K. Sieradzki · Physical Review Letters · 1995

We present results in $1+1$ and $2+1$ dimensions for surface diffusion controlled profile relaxation for the solid-on-solid model above and below the roughening transition. For all cases examined we found that the characteristic time scale $\ensuremath{\tau}$ for the decay of a sinusoidal profile scaled with the wavelength $L$ as $\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\sim}{L}^{z}$ where $z\ensuremath{\cong}4$. These results can be understood in terms of the anomalous diffusion displayed by tracer atoms whose root mean square displacement scaled as ${t}^{1/4}$.

Solid surfaces, surface processes, and solid/gas interactions

A. W. Czanderna · Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology · 1980

An overview of the topical coverage of a one-semester, three-hour course on solid surfaces, surface processes, and the solid/gas interface is presented. The main topical areas embracing the nature of the surface phase include topography, shape, depth, composition, purity, and structure, and the methods used to elucidate these parameters. The various theoretical and experimental categories for understanding adsorbate–adsorbent interactions are considered with particular attention focused on physical and chemical adsorption, desorption, and thermal desorption. Surface processes include surface diffusion and chemisorption as a precursor to oxidation and catalysis. The general emphasis of the course is on the experimental aspects of studying surfaces and the harmonious blending of backgrounds in physics, chemistry, materials, mathematics, and engineering for applied and fundamental surface science. The course is designed for graduate students and well qualified seniors majoring in science or engineering, or the equivalent, and has been taught several times.

Coordinates of the solid surface

X-ray images were parsed using an algorithm written in Python. The algorithm identified interfaces between the solid surface, vapor film, and ambient liquid.
