石墨烯衬底电荷掺杂对Fe成核密度的调控

Tuning Fe Nucleation Density with Charge Doping of Graphene Substrate

Wenmei Ming, Feng Liu

摘要:

我们已经证明,在外延薄膜生长的初始阶段的岛形核可以通过衬底表面电荷掺杂来调节。使用自旋密度泛函理论计算在石墨烯衬底上沉积Fe作为示例来研究这种电荷效应。结果表明,空穴掺杂能显著提高Fe原子的扩散势垒和中间分离时的Fe原子间排斥能,而电子掺杂能降低Fe原子的扩散势垒,但对Fe原子间排斥能的影响不大.进一步的动力学蒙特卡罗模拟表明,在空穴掺杂下,形核岛密度可以增加到10倍以上,并且可以降低到10倍以下。我们的研究结果表明,通过表面电荷掺杂的磁性金属纳米结构的自旋电子学应用定制的生长形态的新途径。

英文摘要:

We have demonstrated that the island nucleation in the initial stage of epitaxial thin film growth can be tuned by substrate surface charge doping. This charge effect was investigated using spin density functional theory calculation in Fe-deposition on graphene substrate as an example. It was found that hole-doping can apparently increase both Fe-adatom diffusion barrier and Fe inter-adatom repulsion energy occurring at intermediate separation, whereas electron-doping can decrease Fe-adatom diffusion barrier but only slightly modify inter-adatom repulsion energy. Further kinetic Monte Carlo simulation showed that the nucleation island density can be increased up to ten times larger under hole-doping and can be decreased down to ten times smaller than that without doping. Our findings indicates a new route to tailoring the growth morphology of magnetic metal nanostructure for spintronics applications via surface charge doping.
