Surface image

The ability to control the position of a fine tip in order to scan surfaces with subatomic resolution has brought scanning probe microscopies to the forefront in surface imaging techniques. We discuss the two primary techniques, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) the interested reader is referred to comprehensive reviews [9, 17, 18].

In this section, the thin-film formation of OPVs is investigated with optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In the case of Oocl-OPV5, this has been supplemented with surface imaging by means of atomic force microscopy. It is demonstrated how an annealing treatment of the films alter deposition influences... 

As expected, the Pt(l 11) surface is covered under ambient conditions by the well-known Pt(lll)-(2x2)-0 adlattice which corresponds to Oq -0.25 where the superscript Pt denotes that the coverage is based on the total surface Pt atoms. The measured interatomic distance of 5.61 A (Fig. 5.49a) is in excellent agreement with literature for the Pt(lll)-(2x2)-0 adlatice. As manifest by the Fourier transform spectmm (Fig. 5.49b) of the surface image of Fig. 5.49a there exists on the surface a second hexagonally ordered adlattice,...

There are a number of concepts concerning the structure of small particles which have a bearing upon geometrical catalytic effects (e.g. 41-43). These follow both from the surface imaging results, and a detailed experimental (13-15) and theoretical (44-47) study of particle morphologies. 

The concept of just outside must be defined more closely. When the test charge is moved from the point of reference toward the surface, work is performed due to the (primary) electrostatic field being discussed. However, very close to the surface, image forces start to act on the test charge they give rise to an additional...

Optical methods are eminently suitable for imaging, the attractive property of photons being that they do not require vacuum. Hence, imaging under reaction conditions becomes possible. Among the successfully applied methods are infrared imaging (IRI) and reflection anisotropy microscopy (RAM) [72]. We will discuss ellipsomicroscopy for surface imaging (EMSI) in some detail here [74],...
