Quantum Electronic Effects on Growth and Structure of Thin Films P. Czoschke, Hawoong Hong, L. Basile, C.-M. Wei, M. Y. Chou, M. Holt, Z. Wu, H. Chen and T.-C. Chiang Introduction When the dimensions of a nano-device approach the de Broglie wavelength of the device’s conduction electrons, quantum effects become increasingly important to the physical properties of the system. We have performed surface x-ray diffraction studies with high-intensity synchrotron radiation to probe the growth behavior and structure of ultrathin films of lead on silicon. We observe an unusual “magic height” effect that results in alternating island and layer-by-layer growth as well as significant quasi-bilayer layer relaxations in the structure of the films. Both effects have been linked to the electronic properties of the system. Using the layer-by-layer growth mode, flat films with near atomic uniformity are grown and studied. Confinement of conduction electrons in the film leads to Friedel-like oscillations in the charge density. If present, atomic displacements should be approximately proportional to the first derivative of the charge density variations. The charge density variations in the metal film have a wavelength approximately equal to half the Fermi wavelength, as with Friedel oscillations. In Pb/Si(111), this is about 1.8 atomic layer spacings, so layers should relax with a quasi-bilayer periodicity. Quantum Oscillations in Film Structure Extended x-ray reflectivity data show multiple interference fringes due to the Pb overlayers for (a) a 10 layer thick film and (b) an 8 layer thick film. The features pointed out with arrows are halfway between the Pb Bragg peaks (at l = 3.3 and 6.6) and are thus an indication of a quasi-bilayer periodicity in the interlayer spacings of the film. The solid curves are fits to a model following the Friedel oscillations of the charge density and the dashed lines are fits assuming all the Pb overlayers have the same thickness. The model accurately reproduces the features of the data. Growth Behavior and Morphology Summary The global energy landscape, rather then the local stability as emphasized in previous studies, is key to understanding this type of film growth involving alternating layer and magic-island formation. It has been shown that quantum confinement can have significant consequences on the structure and growth behavior of thin metal films. A free-electron model in which Friedel-like oscillations are present in the charge density can be used to quantitatively understand the structural relaxations in Pb/Si. These effects have significant implications and must be taken into consideration in the development of nanostructures that approach the atomic scale.

The surface normal is parallel to the horizontal direction. Direct beam is at bottom left-hand side of the picture (not pictured). CCD Image taken during growth Both freestanding and supported films show oscillations with period = 1.8 ML (1/2 of the Fermi wave length), which is very close to 2 ML. Beating period /(2- )= 9 ML for the envelope function (dotted curves) Phase of beating pattern depends on boundary conditions A phase change for Pb on Si leads to two deep minima at N = 1 and 6. Energy minimization results in spontaneous phase separation into a wetting layer and magic islands. At higher coverages, smooth layer growth takes place to minimize step and kink energies Physical Review Letters, 90, (2003) oscillations and beating magic islands wetting layer Extracted Profiles of the Pb(10L) Rod Acknowledgements The UNICAT facility at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) is supported by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Materials Research Laboratory (U.S. DOE, the State of Illinois-IBHE-HECA, and the NSF), the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (U.S. DOE under contract with UT-Battelle LLC), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (U.S. Department of Commerce) and UOP LLC.
