Structural Phases of Ordered FePc-Nanochains Self-Assembled on Au(110)
Iron-phthalocyanine molecules deposited on the Au(110)
reconstructed
channels assemble into one-dimensional molecular chains, whose spatial
distribution evolves into different structural phases at increasing
molecular density. The plasticity of the Au channels first induces
an ordered phase with a 5Ă—5 symmetry, followed by a second long-range
ordered structure composed by denser chains with a 5Ă—7 periodicity
with respect to the bare Au surface, as observed in the low-energy
electron-diffraction (LEED) and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction
(GIXRD) patterns. The geometry of the FePc molecular assemblies in
the Au nanorails is determined by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).
For the 5×7 phases, the GIXRD analysis identifies a “4-3”
rows profile along the [001] direction in the Au surface and an on-top
FePc adsorption site, further confirmed by density functional theory
(DFT) calculations. The latter also reveals the electronic mixing
of the interface states. The chain assembly is driven by the molecule–molecule
interaction and the chains interact with the Au nanorails via the
central metal atom, while the chain–chain distance in the different
structural phases is primarily driven by the plasticity of the Au
surface
Effects of Dopant Ionic Radius on Cerium Reduction in Epitaxial Cerium Oxide Thin Films
The role of trivalent
rare-earth dopants on the cerium oxidation
state has been systematically studied by in situ photoemission spectroscopy
with synchrotron radiation for 10 mol % rare-earth doped epitaxial
ceria films. It was found that dopant rare-earths with smaller ionic
radius foster the formation of Ce<sup>3+</sup> by releasing the stress
strength induced by the cation substitution. With a decrease of the
dopant ionic radius from La<sup>3+</sup> to Yb<sup>3+</sup>, the out-of-plane
axis parameter of the crystal lattice decreases without introducing
macroscopic defects. The high crystal quality of our films allowed
us to comparatively study both the ionic conductivity and surface
reactivity ruling out the influence of structural defects. The measured
increase in the activation energy of films and their enhanced surface
reactivity can be explained in terms of the dopant ionic radius effects
on the Ce<sup>4+</sup> → Ce<sup>3+</sup> reduction as a result
of lattice relaxation. Such findings open new perspectives in designing
ceria-based materials with tailored properties by choosing suitable
cation substitution
