The electronic properties of the Ba/SiC/Si(111)-8° nanointerface have been studied for the first time by photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The experiments are conducted in situ in superhigh vacuum on submonolayer Ba coatings of SiC/Si(111)-8° samples grown by the method of substitution of atoms. It is found that the adsorption of Ba causes strong changes in the spectrum of the C 1 s core level. It is shown that the effect is due to the formation of a new, previously unknown carbon nanostructure. It is found that the nanostructure is formed exclusively on the SiC vicinal surfaces in the presence of stabilizing adsorbed Ba metal atoms and consists of carbon rings, in which the chemical bonds are close in nature to the bonds characteristic of aromatic compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
