摘要:

利用角分辨光电子能谱、低能电子衍射和互补的密度泛函理论计算研究了金刚石(111)表面在重构和随后的石墨烯形成过程中的演化。在920 °C下表面吸附原子脱离后发生的C(111)-(2x 1)表面重构开始检查该过程,并继续直到重构的表面原子在高于1000 °C的温度下释放成独立的外延石墨烯单层。我们的研究结果表明,C(111)-(2x 1)表面是金属,因为它有电子态,相交的费米能级。这与对称π键合链模型非常一致,并应有助于解决文献中围绕该表面的电子性质存在的争议。在较高温度下形成的石墨烯存在于新形成的C(111)-(2 \times 1)表面上方,并且似乎具有很少的衬底相互作用,因为在费米能级处观察到Dirac点。最后,我们证明,它是可能的氢终止下的金刚石表面的等离子体处理的手段,而不去除石墨烯层,形成石墨烯-半导体界面。这对于掺杂经由可调谐衬底相互作用在金刚石(111)表面上形成的石墨烯具有特别的相关性,所述可调谐衬底相互作用是通过等离子体处理改变金刚石-石墨烯界面处的终止物质的结果。

英文摘要:

The evolution of the diamond (111) surface as it undergoes reconstruction and subsequent graphene formation is investigated with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction, and complementary density functional theory calculations. The process is examined starting at the C(111)-(2x1) surface reconstruction that occurs following detachment of the surface adatoms at 920 °C, and continues through to the liberation of the reconstructed surface atoms into a free-standing monolayer of epitaxial graphene at temperatures above 1000 °C. Our results show that the C(111)-(2x1) surface is metallic as it has electronic states that intersect the Fermi-level. This is in strong agreement with a symmetrically π-bonded chain model and should contribute to resolving the controversies that exist in the literature surrounding the electronic nature of this surface. The graphene formed at higher temperatures exists above a newly formed C(111)-(2\times1) surface and appears to have little substrate interaction as the Dirac-point is observed at the Fermi-level. Finally, we demonstrate that it is possible to hydrogen terminate the underlying diamond surface by means of plasma processing without removing the graphene layer, forming a graphene-semiconductor interface. This could have particular relevance for doping the graphene formed on the diamond (111)surface via tuneable substrate interactions as a result of changing the terminating species at the diamond-graphene interface by plasma processing.
