摘要:

用软X射线吸收光谱原位研究了铁在MgO表面沉积过程中铁与MgO之间的界面反应。高灵敏度的技术,它是能够检测甚至一个子单层的一个给定的阶段,结合原位测量作为铁层厚度的函数,允许一个定量估计的界面相。两种不同的衬底,即MgO(001)单晶,和多晶MgO薄膜在Si衬底上已被用来阐明的作用,MgO表面的状态在控制界面结构。结果表明,在Fe和MgO膜的界面处,形成了两层左右的Fe_3O_4单层膜。Fe3O4是具有最高生成热的铁的氧化物,该反应似乎是由热力学控制的。另一方面,在与MgO(001)表面的界面上,生成FeO,表明反应受到氧原子可用性的限制。由于大块铁磁铁层的邻近效应,FeO层的磁行为得到显着修改。

英文摘要:

Interfacial reaction between iron and MgO has been studied in situ during deposition of iron on MgO surface, using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy. High sensitivity of the technique which is capable of detecting even a sub monolayer of a given phase, combined with in situ measurements as a function of iron layer thickness, allowed one to make a quantitative estimate of interfacial phases. Two different substrates namely, MgO (001) single crystal, and a polycrystalline MgO film on Si substrate have been used in order to elucidate the role of the state of MgO surface in controlling the interface structure. It is found that at the interface of iron and MgO film, about two monolayers of Fe3O4 is formed. Fe3O4 being the oxide of iron with the highest heat of formation, the reaction appears to be controlled thermodynamically. On the other hand, on the interface with MgO (001) surface, FeO is formed, suggesting that the reaction is limited by the availability of oxygen atoms. Magnetic behaviour of the FeO layer gets modified significantly due to proximity effect of the bulk ferromagnetic iron layer.
