A Highly Stable Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscope

We demonstrate a home-built electrochemical scanning tunneling microscope （ECSTM）. The ECSTM exhibits highly stable performance. The drifting rates in XY and Z directions of the ECSTM are about 67 and 55.6 pm/min, respectively. Moreover, a specially designed scanner unit successfully solves the well-known problem of large leakage current in high humidity atmosphere. The mechanical structure of the ECSTM is described in detail. The excellent performances of the system are demonstrated by the measured STM images （in copper sulfate solution）, including clean and well-ordered large area morphology of Au（111） and the atomically resolved image of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite.

Compact Scanning Tunneling Microscope with Large Scale Searching Capability for Mmultidisciplinary Applications

We present the design and performance of a home-built scanning tunneling microscope （STM）, which is compact （66 mm tall and 25 mm in diameter）, yet equipped with a 3D atomic precision piezoelectric motor in which the Z coarse approach relies on a high simplic-ity friction-type walker （of our own invention） driven by an axially cut piezoelectric tube. The walker is vertically inserted in a piezoelectric scanner tube （PST） with its brim laying at on the PST end as the inertial slider （driven by the PST） for the XZ （sample plane） motion. The STM is designed to be capable of searching rare microscopic targets （defects, dopants, boundaries, nano-devices, etc.） in a macroscopic sample area （square millimeters） under extreme conditions （low temperatures, strong magnetic elds, etc.） in which it ts. It gives good atomic resolution images after scanning a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite sample in air at room temperature.

Vibration Compensation for Scanning Tunneling Microscope

The influence of vibration is already one of main obstacles for improving the nano measuring accuracy.The techniques of anti-vibration,vibration isolation and vibration compensation become an important branch in nano measuring field.Starting with the research of sensitivity to vibration of scanning tunneling microscope(STM),the theory,techniques and realization methods of nano vibration sensor based on tunnel effect are initially investigated,followed by developing the experimental devices.The experiments of the vibration detection and vibration compensation are carried out.The experimental results show that vibration sensor based on tunnel effect is characterized by high sensitivity,good frequency characteristic and the same vibratory response characteristic consistent with STM.

Structure of Reconstructed Cu（100） Surface Induced by Dissociative Adsorption of Gaseous Oxygen

The reconstructed structures of Cu（100） surface induced by O2 dissociative adsorption were investigated by low energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy. At lower oxygen coverage, it was found that two reconstructed structures, i.e. c（2×2）-O and （√2×2√2）R45°-O are coexistent. The domain size of the c（2×2）-O structure decreased with the increasing of O2 exposure. The reconstructed structure at very small coverage was also investigated and a “zigzag” structure was observed at this stage. The “zigzag” structure was identified as boundaries of local c（2×2） domains. It was found that the strip region shows much stronger molecule-substrate interaction than that of oxygen covered regions, making it a proper template for patterned organic films. The sequence of the thermal stability was found as zigzag structure〉c（2×2）〉（√2×2√2）R45°-O.

Bias-Polarity Dependent Electroluminescence from a Single Platinum Phthalocyanine Molecule

By using scanning tunneling microscope induced luminescence(STML)technique,we investigate systematically the bias-polarity dependent electroluminescence behavior of a single platinum phthalocyanine(PtPc)molecule and the electron excitation mechanisms behind.The molecule is found to emit light at both bias polarities but with different emission energies.At negative excitation bias,only the fluorescence at 637 nm is observed,which originates from the LUMOtHOMO transition of the neutral PtPc molecule and exhibits stepwise-like increase in emission intensities over three different excitation-voltage regions.Strong fluorescence in region(I)is excited by the carrier injection mechanism with holes injected into the HOMO state first;moderate fluorescence in region(II)is excited by the inelastic electron scattering mechanism;and weak fluorescence in region(III)is associated with an up-conversion process and excited by a combined carrier injection and inelastic electron scattering mechanism involving a spintriplet relay state.At positive excitation bias,more-than-one emission peaks are observed and the excitation and emission mechanisms become complicated.The sharp moleculespecific emission peak at〜911 nm is attributed to the anionic emission of PtPc-originated from the LUMO+1 tLUMO transition,whose excitation is dominated by a carrier injection mechanism with electrons first injected into the LUMO+1 or higher-lying empty orbitals.

The interaction of laminin and its membrane receptor on mouse macrophage membrane studied by STM and FRAP

The variation of membrane surface and lateral diffusion of membrane protein was studied after the interaction of laminin with its membrane receptor in mouse macrophages. A pattern of membrane surface which showed smaller and bigger peaks was obtained by scanning tunneling microscope(STM), looking like the domains of lipid groups and proteins in the model of fluid mosaic biomembrane. Some even more higher and wider peaks projected out from the membrane surface in STM image after the interacting of laminin with membrane receptor were, probably, the complexes of laminin and membrane receptor. Furthermore, the decreased lateral diffusion coefficient value (D) was obtained by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) after the laminin was reacted with membrane receptor. This phenomenon provides an evidence that the complexes of laminin and its membrane receptor were located on the membrane of macrophages. So we could consider that the laminin is combined with membrane receptor leading to the variation in the properties of membrane surface.

Direct Observation of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides in Liquid with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

We present atomic-resolution images of TiSe2,MoTe2 and TaS2 single crystals in liquid condition using our home-built scanning tunneling microscopy(STM).By facilely cleaving of single crystals in liquid,we were able to keep the fresh surface not oxidized within a few hours.Using the high-stable home-built STM,we have obtained atomic resolution images of TiSe2 accompanied with the single atom defects as well as the triangle defects in solution for the first time.Besides,the superstructure of MoTe2 and hexagonal chargedensity wave domain structure in nearly commensurate phase of TaS2 were also obtained at room temperature(295 K).Our results provide a more efficient method in investigating the lively surface of transition metal dichalcogenides.Besides,the high stable liquid-phase STM will support the further investigations in liquid-phase catalysis or electrochemistry.

Towards full repair of defects in reduced graphene oxide films by two-step graphitization

The complete restoration of a perfect carbon lattice has been a central issue in the research on graphene derived from graphite oxide since this preparation route was first proposed several years ago, but such a goal has so far remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that the highly defective structure of reduced graphene oxide sheets assembled into free-standing, paper-like films can be fully repaired by means of high temperature annealing （graphitization）. Characterization of the films by X-ray photoelectron and Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy indicated that the main stages in the transformation of the films were （i） complete removal of oxygen functional groups and generation of atomic vacancies （up to 1,500 ~C）, and （ii） vacancy annihilation and coalescence of adjacent overlapping sheets to yield continuous polycrystalline layers （1,800-2,700 ~C） similar to those of highly oriented graphites. The prevailing type of defect in the polycrystalline layers were the grain boundaries separating neighboring domains, which were typically a few hundred nanometers in lateral size, exhibited long-range graphitic order and were virtually free of even atomic-sized defects. The electrical conductivity of the annealed films was as high as 577,000 S-m-1, which is by far the largest value reported to date for any material derived from graphene oxide, and strategies for further improvement without the need to resort to higher annealing temperatures are suggested. Overall, this work opens the prospect of truly achieving a complete restoration of the carbon lattice in graphene oxide materials.

An in situ STM investigation of EMITFSI ionic liquid on Au(111)in the presence of lithium salt

We report an in situ scanning tunneling microscopic study of surface morphology changes in Au（111） electrode in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis（trifluoromethylsulfonyl）imide （EMITFSI） ionic liq- uid containing LiTFSI salt. The surface processes can be divided into three stages： In the first stage, a re- duction wave of dissolved oxygen in the ionic liquid appears at approximately 2.0 V and a network structure covers the surface afterward; in the second stage at around 1.5 V, reduction of trace water is initiated and a surface film containing lithium hydroxide is formed; in the third stage, as potential is further decreased to 0.85 V, decomposition of the EMITFSI ionic liquid occurs, which is accompanied by lithium underpotential deposition and Au-Li alloying. In this stage, the surface experiences significant morphological changes with formation of many clusters on the surface, and even- tually becomes electronically less conductive. This unique surface film is understood to be the initial stage formation of a solid electrolyte interphase on gold, which may be a common feature in ionic liquids in the presence of lithium salt.

Hybrid molecular nanostructures with donor-acceptor chains

We have fabricated hybrid molecular chain structures formed by electron acceptor compound 1 and electron donor molecules 2 and 3 at the liquid/solid interface of graphite surface.The structural details of the mono-component and the binary assemblies are revealed by high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).Compound 1 can form two well-ordered lamellar patterns at different concentrations.In the co-adsorption structures,compounds 2 and 3 can insert into the space between molecular chains of compound 1 and form large area well-ordered nanoscale phase separated lamellar structures.The unit cell parameters for the coassemblies can be "flexibly" adjusted to make the electron donors and acceptors perfectly match along the molecular chains.Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) results indicate that the electronic properties of individual molecular donors and acceptors are preserved in the binary self-assembly.These results provide molecular insight into the nanoscale phase separation of organic electron acceptors and donors on surfaces and are helpful for the fabrication of surface supramolecular structures and molecular devices.

Imaging the atomic-scale electronic states induced by a pair of hole dopants in Ca_(2)CuO_(2)Cl_(2) Mott insulator

We use scanning tunneling microscopy to visualize the atomic-scale electronic states induced by a pair of hole dopants in Ca_(2)CuO_(2)Cl_(2)parent Mott insulator of cuprates.We find that when the two dopants approach each other,the transfer of spectral weight from high energy Hubbard band to low energy ingap state creates a broad peak and nearly V-shaped gap around the Fermi level.The peak position shows a sudden drop at distance around 4 a_(0)and then remains almost constant.The in-gap states exhibit peculiar spatial distributions depending on the configuration of the two dopants relative to the underlying Cu lattice.These results shed important new lights on the evolution of low energy electronic states when a few holes are doped into parent cuprates.

Continuous wafer-scale graphene on cubic-SiC（O01）

The atomic and electronic structure of graphene synthesized on commercially available cubic-SiC（001）/Si（001） wafers have been studied by low energy electron microscopy （LEEM）, scanning tunneling microscopy （STM）, low energy electron diffraction （LEED）, and angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy （ARPES）. LEEM and STM data prove the wafer-scale continuity and uniform thickness of the graphene overlayer on SIC（001）. LEEM, STM and ARPES studies reveal that the graphene overlayer on SIC（001） consists of only a few monolayers with physical properties of quasi-freestanding graphene. Atomically resolved STM and micro-LEED data show that the top graphene layer consists of nanometer-sized domains with four different lattice orientations connected through the 〈110〉-directed boundaries. ARPES studies reveal the typical electron spectrum of graphene with the Dirac points close to the Fermi level. Thus, the use of technologically relevant SiC（001）/Si（001） wafers for graphene fabrication repre-sents a realistic way of bridging the gap between the outstanding properties of graphene and their applications.

Anisotropic gapping of topological Weyl rings in the charge-density-wave superconductor In_(x)TaSe_(2)

Topological materials and topological phases have recently become a hot topic in condensed matter physics.In this work,we report an In-intercalated transition-metal dichalcogenide In_(x)TaSe_(2)(named 112 system),a topological nodal-line semimetal in the prep seffiffinffi ce of both charge density wave(CDW)and superconductivity.In the x=0.58 sample,the 2×√3 commensurate CDW(CCDW)and the 2×2 CCDW are observed below 116 and 77 K,respectively.Consistent with theoretical calculations,the spin–orbital coupling gives rise to two twofold-degenerate nodal rings(Weyl rings)connected by drumhead surface states,confirmed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.Our results suggest that the 2×2 CCDW ordering gaps out one Weyl ring in accordance with the CDW band folding,while the other Weyl ring remains gapless with intact surface states.In addition,superconductivity emerges at 0.91 K,with the upper critical field deviating from the s-wave behavior at low temperature,implying possibly unconventional superconductivity.Therefore,we think this type of the 112 system may possess abundant physical states and offer a platform to investigate the interplay between CDW,nontrivial band topology and superconductivity.
