The growth of multi-layer NaCl islands on Au(111)-([Formula: see text]) surfaces was investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We observed that the aspect of the NaCl islands drastically differs depending on the tunneling conditions. It is therefore possible to observe the layers forming an NaCl island or to image the gold reconstruction below the first NaCl layer. Atomically resolved STM images obtained on the first NaCl layer demonstrate that NaCl grows as an epitaxial crystalline film on Au(111)-([Formula: see text]). STM images also suggest that some NaCl layers can be non-crystalline.
利用扫描隧道显微镜(STM)研究了在Au(111)-([化学式:见原文])表面上多层氯化钠岛的生长情况。我们观察到,氯化钠岛的形貌根据隧道条件的不同而有很大差异。因此,有可能观察到形成氯化钠岛的各层,或者对第一层氯化钠层下方的金重构进行成像。在第一层氯化钠层上获得的原子分辨STM图像表明,氯化钠在Au(111)-([化学式:见原文])上以外延晶体薄膜的形式生长。STM图像还表明,一些氯化钠层可能是非晶态的。
