Outline Classical film growth modes Quantum growth mode QSE and free electron model Properties of quantum film Summary References

Classical film growth modes There are three classical film growth modes Thermodynamic parameters (such as surface and interface free energies of substrate and deposited materials) compete with the kinetic parameters (surface diffusion and deposition rate) Thermo-equilibrium configuration o Layer-by-layer(Frank-van der Merwe, FM) o Complete islanding(Volmer-Weber, VM) o Layer plus Islanding(Stranski-Krastanov, SK)

Quantum growth mode People find some smooth metal films on semiconductors are sometimes formed at low temperature under growth conditions far away from thermo-equilibrium In 1996, Arthur R. Smith [1] provided the first striking example of the quantum growth by depositing Ag on GaAs in a two-step process

Characteristics of this Ag film Two-step method (LT deposition& RT annealing) Large area of atomically flat metal film Critical thickness(~6ML)

QSE and free electron model Quantum size effect [2] Quantum Well States [3]

The Free electron model o A collection of free electrons o Neglect the lattice potential and electron-electron interaction o Potential height doesnt affect the analytical result substantially

Film stability criterion E t (left)<E t (right) Flat film of L monolayer is stable only if Es(L) is convex!

Example [2]

[4]

Friedel Oscillation Friedel oscillations in electron density can cause strong oscillations in the electrostatic charge density and potential. Period:

Example: Pb(111) film [4] Oscillation persists up to at least 25 ML! DFT calculation ~ 1/z

Properties of quantum films Surface reactivity o Surface reactivity of materials is size dependent o Its strongly dependent the DOS around the Fermi level o Quantum confined metal films of different thickness have the same surface structure but different electronic structures o The energetic position of the corresponding quantum well states and their decaying length directly affect the molecular orbital rehybridization upon adsorption and thereby also the catalytic properties. Example: Au can be very reactive catalyst for low temperature oxidation of CO at the nanometer scale [7]

Summary Quantum growth mode is a new thin film growth mode, in which the quantum confinement of itinerant electrons plays an important role in the film stability. Quantum film has a lot of interesting physical properties.
