研究目的
Investigating the formation of indium nanostructures on the (0001) surface of InSe layered semiconductor crystal through self-assembling due to dewetting.
研究成果
The InSe (0001) surface serves as an effective template for the self-assembling of indium nanostructures through dewetting, with the nanostructures' shape and arrangement influenced by the hexagonal lattice symmetry of the surface. This method opens new opportunities for creating functional devices based on metal-semiconductor hetero nanosystems.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific conditions required for the dewetting process, including the rate of indium deposition and the annealing temperature. The influence of residual gases in UHV on the formation of surface nanostructures was also noted as a potential limitation.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and low electron energy diffraction to characterize the InSe (0001) surface and the formation of indium nanostructures. Indium was thermally deposited on InSe crystal cleavages obtained in situ.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Structurally perfect InSe crystal cleavages were used as substrates for indium deposition.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
STM/AFM System by Omicron Nano Technology, thermal evaporator EFM-3 for indium deposition, and ErLEED 100 optics for LEED.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Indium was deposited at a rate of
5：07 ml/min, followed by annealing at 450–500 K to activate dewetting. STM/STS and LEED data were acquired under UHV conditions. Data Analysis Methods:
STM data were analyzed using WS&M v.4.0 software, and LEED spot intensities were extracted using EasyLEED software.
