Scanning tunneling microscopy of ethylated Si(111) surfaces prepared by a chlorination/alkylation process

Article Abstract:

Computational modeling and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) are used to study the structure of ethyl-terminated Si(111) surfaces, which are prepared by using a two-step chlorination/alkylation approach. The data is found to be consistent with a model in which Si(111) can be alkylated in a highly exoergic reaction to form a high coverage of ethyl groups and has indicated that the resultant surface structure has ordered regions consistent with ethylation of the atop sites of an unreconstructed Si(111) 1 by 1 surface as well as less ordered regions.

Crystalline, shape, and surface anisotropy in two crystal morphologies of superparamagnetic cobalt nanoparticles by ferromagnetic resonance

Article Abstract:

Superparamegnetic cobalt nanoparticles (NP's) with different crystalline structures and sizes raging from 4 to 9 nm in diameter is investigated using ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) techniques. The results from both single crystalline and polycrystalline cobalt NP's reveal that a particle's effective anisotropy and thus its magnetic properties, are extremely sensitive to internal structure and overall shape.

Applied magnetic field rejects the coating of ferromagnetic carbon from the surface of ferromagnetic cobalt: RAPET of CoZr2(acac)2(O(super i)Pr)8

Article Abstract:

The results of the RAPET (reaction under autogenic pressure at elevated temperatures) dissociation of CoZr2(acac)2(O(super i)Pr)8 at 700 degree Celsius in a closed Swagelok cell under an applied magnetic field of 10 T are presented. It produces a mixture of carbon-coated and noncoated metastable ZrO2 nanoparticles, bare metallic Co nanoparticles, and bare carbon.
