ABSTRACTRaman spectroscopy, FTIR and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) were used to study diamond-like nanocomposite (DLN) and metal containing DLN (Me-DLN) films. The FTIR spectra showed no appreciable absorption from the C-H stretch vibration band in DLN when 1 kV rf bias voltage was applied. Thermal annealing (450°C for 2 hrs) of (a) DLN and Cr-DLN films caused no change in the Raman spectra while (b) for Pt-DLN films there was a blue shift of both the crystalline (G) and microcrystalline (D) graphite-like features, an increase in the ID/IG intensity ratio and a decrease in the linewidths. The changes observed were more pronounced in the film with the highest Pt concentration. The STM image of this Pt-DLN film revealed a structure of aromatic graphite rings.

Intramolecular methyl–methyl coupling on Au (111) is explored as a new on-surface protocol for edge extension in graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). Characterized by high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy, noncontact atomic force microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, the methyl–methyl coupling is proven to indeed proceed at the armchair edges of the GNRs, forming six-membered rings with sp3- or sp2-hybridized carbons.

ABSTRACTWe demonstrate scanning tunneling microscopy studies of a Si(001)-c(4×4) structure which consists of a considerable number of dimer vacancies (missing dimers). Two different preparation methods are examined; one is hydrogen desorption and another is a special annealing and cooling process without hydrogen. The STM images reveal that atomic structure of the c(4×4) prepared without hydrogen is quite different from that prepared with hydrogen and is well described by the missing dimer model. A moiré-like pattern is observed on the c(4×4) surface prepared by hydrogen with an increase in the tip-sample distance, which suggests that the atoms lying in the subsurface should be considered for the precise description of the c(4×4) structure.
