Understanding the interfacial properties of functional nanomaterials on semiconductor surfaces is crucial for developing electronics, optoelectronics, and other devices. By using graphene on the germanium (110) surface as a model, we performed scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to examine the surface reconstructions of Ge (110) under graphene. Two reconstructions, the (1 × 1) phase (R2) which was previously proposed to survive only at high temperature and a superstructure (R1 phase), were determined based on atomically resolved STM images. The R2 phase will transform to R1 after annealing in UHV above 300 °C, while the R1 phase can reversibly change to the (1 × 1) phase after heating in hydrogen at 700 °C. Finally, we confirmed the presence of interfacial hydrogen that stabilized the (1 × 1) phase at the initial stage of graphene growth based on control experiments. The zigzag edge of graphene is perpendicular to the close-packed [1–10] direction of Ge(110) which ensures the unidirectional growth of graphene seeds for final merging into single crystal.

锗的表面重建:氢嵌入和石墨烯保护

了解半导体表面上功能纳米材料的界面特性对于开发电子,光电和其他设备至关重要。通过使用锗(110)表面上的石墨烯作为模型,我们执行了扫描隧道显微镜(STM)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)来研究石墨烯下Ge(110)的表面重构。先前提出仅在高温和高温下才能生存的两种重构,即(1×1)相(R2)。上层结构(R1相)是根据原子分辨的STM图像确定的。在高于300°C的超高压下退火后,R2相将转变为R1,而在700°C的氢气中加热后,R1相可以可逆地转变为(1×1)相。最后,基于对照实验,我们确认了在石墨烯生长的初始阶段稳定(1×1)相的界面氢的存在。石墨烯的锯齿形边缘垂直于Ge(110)的密堆积[1-10]方向,可确保石墨烯晶种的单向生长,以最终合并成单晶。
