    Structure determination of Au on Pt(111) surface:LEED, STM and DFT Study

    Full text link
    Low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to investigate the atomic and electronic structure of gold deposited (between 0.8 and 1.0 monolayer) on the Pt(111) face in ultrahigh vacuum at room temperature. The analysis of LEED and STM measurements indicates two-dimensional growth of the first Au monolayer. Change of the measured surface lattice constant equal to 2.80 Å after Au adsorption was not observed. Based on DFT, the distance between the nearest atoms in the case of bare Pt(111) and Au/Pt(111) surface is equal to 2.83 Å, which gives 1% difference in comparison with STM values. The first and second interlayer spacing of the clean Pt(111) surface are expanded by +0.87% and contracted by −0.43%, respectively. The adsorption energy of the Au atom on the Pt(111) surface is dependent on the adsorption position, and there is a preference for a hollow fcc site. For the Au/Pt(111) surface, the top interlayer spacing is expanded by +2.16% with respect to the ideal bulk value. Changes in the electronic properties of the Au/Pt(111) system below the Fermi level connected to the interaction of Au atoms with Pt(111) surface are observed

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Additional support was provided by the University of California Lab Fees Research Program (Grant No. 12-LR-238568).Symmetric quantum dots (QDs) on (111)-oriented surfaces are promising candidates for generating polarization-entangled photons due to their low excitonic fine structure splitting (FSS). However, (111) QDs are difficult to grow. The conventional use of compressive strain to drive QD self-assembly fails to form 3D nanostructures on (111) surfaces. Instead, we demonstrate that (111) QDs self-assemble under tensile strain by growing GaAs QDs on an InP(111)A substrate. Tensile GaAs self-assembly produces a low density of QDs with a symmetric triangular morphology. Coherent, tensile QDs are observed without dislocations, and the QDs luminescence at room temperature. Single QD measurements reveal low FSS with a median value of 7.6 μeV, due to the high symmetry of the (111) QDs. Tensile self-assembly thus offers a simple route to symmetric (111) QDs for entangled photon emitters.Peer reviewe

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    CO adsorption on graphite-like ZnO bilayers supported on Cu(111), Ag(111) and Au(111) surfaces

    Full text link
    &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Graphitic-like ZnO bilayer films deposited on coinage metals, Cu(111), Ag(111), and Au(111) have been studied by density functional theory calculations including dispersion corrections. The scope is to compare on an equal footing the properties of the three systems and in particular the nature of the metal/oxide interface. To this end we have considered the adsorption of a CO probe molecule and the vibrational shifts induced by adsorption on ZnO/Cu(111), ZnO/Ag(111), and ZnO/Au(111) compared to adsorption on the unsupported ZnO bilayer and on the wurtzite ZnO surface. We find that while the interaction of ZnO with Ag and Au supports is dominated by dispersion interactions with little or no charge transfer at the interface, in the case of Cu a moderate electron transfer occurs towards the ZnO bilayer. As a consequence, while the stretching frequency of CO on ZnO/Au is blue-shifted, that on ZnO/Cu is red- shifted compared to free CO. CO on ZnO/Ag is intermediate. In all three cases, however, the ZnO bilayer is almost flat, with a modest rumpling found in the case of Cu as a consequence of the stronger chemical interaction. The results fully explain the CO vibrational shifts of CO on ZnO/Cu(111) [Schott, V. et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 1-6] without implying major distortions in the supported film. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</jats:p

    Fabrication of Nanoslits with &lt;111&gt; Etching TSWE Method

    No full text
    In this paper, we report a modified three step anisotropic wet etching (TSWE) method to fabricate solid-state silicon nanoslits. The slit-opening process is performed by &lt;111&gt; crystal plane etching. The etching rate of the &lt;111&gt; crystal plane is reasonably slow as it is only 1/45 of the &lt;100&gt; etching rate, thus allowing and therefore good slits-opening controllability. By slowly etching the &lt;111&gt; crystal plane, the over-etching was effectively reduced. Perfectly rectangular nanoslits with different dimensions were successfully obtained. The smallest achieved feature size of the nanoslit is 8.3 nm.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic Components, Technology and Material
