研究目的
Investigating the microstructure, morphology, and growth of NaT2 thin films deposited on graphene and the influence of the underlying surface on the crystal structure and orientation of NaT2 molecules.
研究成果
The structure and crystalline orientation of NaT2 depend heavily on the underlying surface and surface quality. NaT2 crystallites are standing out-of-plane on SiO2 and predominantly lying on the graphene surface. The formation of an initial wetting layer is proposed for the edge-on phase, while the face-on phase grows linearly from the beginning of the deposition.
研究不足
The signal to noise ratio is not sufficiently high during the early deposition stages, making it difficult to detect transient structures within the first few molecular layers. The lifetime of any transient structure cannot reliably be determined from post-growth measurements.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
NaT2 thin films were deposited on two types of graphene surfaces and characterized using GIXRD and AFM.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Custom-made CVD-grown graphene layers transferred onto Si/SiO2 substrates and commercially transferred CVD graphene on Si/SiO2 were used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
GIXRD setup, AFM (Dimension 3100, Veeco), UV-Vis spectrometer (Shimadzu UV-2700), and a custom-made deposition chamber with a 360° cylindrical X-ray beryllium window.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
NaT2 was deposited by vacuum sublimation, with substrate temperature kept at 50°C during deposition. Real-time GIXRD measurements were performed during deposition.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
GIXRD data was processed using GIXSGUI and self-programmed MATLAB scripts. AFM images were analyzed using SPIP software.
