  • Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)를 이용하여 Si(111)$4{\times}1$-In 표면에의 수소원자 흡착의 영향을 고찰하였다. STM 이미지에서 수소원자는 $4{\times}1$-In chain의 한 쪽 줄에 있는 두개의 연속된 밝은 부분 사이에 위치한다. 이 H 원자는 두 줄의 zigzag subchain 중의 한 쪽에만 선택적으로 흡착되는 경향성을 보이며 이는 수소원자의 흡착에 표면 밑의 구조가 영향을 미침을 시사한다. 표면에 흡착된 수소원자는 흡착위치 주위의 국소적 변형 뿐 만 아니라 chain 방향으로 멀리 떨어진 곳에도 영향을 미쳐서 STM 이미지에 두 배 주기의 modulation이 나타나게 한다. 수소흡착에 의해 유도되는 두 배 주기의 modulation은 기존에 보고된 Na 원자 흡착에 의해 유도되는 상과 다름을 확인하였다.

  • In this study, electrical properties of self-assembled dipyridinium dithioacetate molecule onto the Au(111) substrate is observed using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy(STM) by vortical structure of STM probe. At first, the Au(111) substrate is cleaned by piranha solution$(H_2SO_4:H_2O_2\;=\;3:1)$. Subsequently, 1 mM/ml of dipyridinium dithioacetate molecule is self-assembled onto the Au(111) surface. Using STM, the images of dipyridinium dithioacetate molecule which is self-assembled onto the Au(111) substrate, can be observed. In addition, the electrical properties(I-V) of dipyridinium dithioacetate can also be examined by using Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy(STS). From the results of the measurement of the current-voltage(I-V), the property of Negative Differential Resistance(NDR) that shows the decreases of current according to the increases of voltage is observed. We found the NDR voltage of the dipyridinium dithioacetate is -1.42 V(negative region) and 1.30 V(positive region), respectively.

  • Sb(111) is a spin textured surface due to the strong spin-orbit coupling, often viewed as a proto-type topological insulator. We used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to characterize various Mn-induced subsurface defects existing at the surface of Mn-doped Sb at 50 K. Our STM images show that every defect exhibits 3-fold symmetry with a single rotational orientation and can be categorized by their shapes and sizes. We found more than 10 types of subsurface defects with distinctive orders, which allows the resolution of the vertical positions of the magnetic dopants lying more than 10 layers down from the surface. We will discuss about our findings in comparison with theoretical results.

  • By using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S), we can make images of various physical properties in nanometer-scale spatial resolutions. Here, I demonstrate imaging of two electron-correlated subjects; screening and superconductivity by STM/S. The electrostatic potential around a charge is described with the Coulomb potential. When the charge is located in a metal, the potential is modified because of the free electrons in the host. The potential modification, called screening, is one of the fundamental phenomena in the condensed matter physics. Using low-temperature STM we have developed a method to measure electrostatic potential in high spatial and energy resolutions, and observed the potential around external charges screened by two-dimensional surface electronic states. Characteristic potential decay and the Friedel oscillation were clearly observed around the charges [1]. Superconductivity of nano-size materials, whose dimensions are comparable with the coherence length, is quite different from their bulk. We investigated superconductivity of ultra-thin Pb islands by directly measuring the superconducting gaps using STM. The obtained tunneling spectra exhibit a variation of zero bias conductance (ZBC) with a magnetic field, and spatial mappings of ZBC revealed the vortex formation [2]. Size dependence of the vortex formation will be discussed at the presentation.

  • We elucidate the mechanism of the self-assembled organic layer formation at the organic/metal interface of hexaaza-triphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HATCN)/Au(111) by first-principles calculations and Lowtemperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM). In this work, we used HATCN to deposit organic material which is well known as an efficient OLED charge generation material. Low-temperature STM measurements revealed that self-assembled hexagonal porous structure is formed at terraces of Au(111). We also found that the hexagonal porous structure has chirality and forms only small (<1000 $nm^2$) phaseseparated chiral domains that can easily change their chiral phase in subsequence STM images at 80 K. To explain the mechanism of these observation, we calculated the molecular-molecular and molecule-surface interaction energies by using density functional theory method. We found that the change of their chiral phase resulted from the competition between the two energies. These results have not only verified our experimental observations, but also revealed the delicate balance between different interactions that caused the self-assembed structures at the surface.

  • We investigated the atomic and electronic properties of graphene grown by Pd silicidation and intercalation using LEED, STM, and ARPES. Pd was deposited on the 6H-SiC(0001) surface at RT. The formation of Pd silicide gives rise to breaking of Si-C bonds of the SiC crystal, which enables to release C atoms at low temperature. The C atoms are transformed into graphene from $860^{\circ}C$ according to the LEED patterns as a function of annealing temperature. Even though the graphene spots were observed in the LEED pattern and the Fourier transformed STM images after annealing at $870^{\circ}C$, the topography images showed various superstructures so that graphene is covered with Pd silicide residue. After annealing at $950^{\circ}C$, monolayer graphene was revealed at the surface. The growth of graphene is not limited by surface obstacles such as steps and defects. In addition, we observed that six protrusions consisting of the honeycomb network of graphene has same intensity meaning non-broken AB-symmetry of graphene. The ARPES results in the vicinity of K point showed the non-doped linear ${\pi}$ band structure indicating monolayer graphene decoupled from the SiC substrate electronically. Note that the charge neutrality of graphene grown by Pd silicidation and intercalation was sustained regardless of annealing temperature in contrast with quasi-free- standing graphene induced by H and Au intercalation. Further annealing above $1,000^{\circ}C$ accelerates sublimation of the Pd silicide layer underneath graphene. This results in appearance of the $(6r3x6r3)R30^{\circ}$ structure and dissolution of the ${\pi}$ bands for quasi-free-standing graphene.

  • Using both experimentaland theoretical methods, we have investigated the structural and electronic properties of self-assembled two-dimensional organic molecule (hexaaza-triphenylene-hexacarbonitrile, HATCN), which is used as an efficient OLED hole injection material, on Au(111) surfaces. Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM) measurements revealed that self-assembled linear and hexagonal porous structures are formed at atomic steps and terraces of Au(111), respectively. We also found that the hexagonal porous structure have chirality and forms only small (<1,000 nm2) phase-separated chiral domains that can easily change their chiral phase in subsequence STM images at 80 K.

  • Three-dimensional superstructures of unique self-assemblies generated by exploring the conformational flexibility of various dipyrromethenes through creation of hydrogen-bonds with metal-halide anions are reported and the conformational diversity is thoroughly described in the solid and solution states by X-ray diffraction analysis and variable temperature NMR spectroscopy. The tetrahedral or octahedral structures of their precursors, various metal-dipyrromethene complexes, are also reported, based on the crystallographic data. STM images of the self-assemblies observed on graphite surfaces present interesting arrangements and appear as tubular bunches.
