Selective production of hydrogen ion species at atomically designed nanotips.
Ultramicroscopy 2018 March
Hydrogen scanning ion microscopy systems rely on nanotip gas field ion sources to generate the hydrogen ion beam. The exact structure of the nanotip and the applied electric field are shown to be important. It is demonstrated that hydrogen ion beams are found to occur as mixtures of H+ , H2 + and H3 + depending on the electric field strength and the nanotip structure. Various nanotips were prepared, including single atom tips (SATs), trimers and other nano-structured tips to compare the contents of hydrogen ion beams. It was found that single atom tips produce primarily H2 + at low operating voltages, but as the voltage is increased, H3 + dominates. For the trimer case, H2 + becomes a significant species and equals the H3 + current but H3 + can be isolated at higher voltages. For the hexamer tip structure, H2 + almost completely dominates with little H3 + being produced. H+ is only observed in small quantities for all tip structures until a high voltage regime, where apex atom resolution is not observed. Comparisons W SATs and Ir SATs showed similar H3 + /H2 + product ratios indicating the nanotip structure plays a key role in the catalytic formation of H3 + . Temperature affects are also discussed and operating parameters for single species ion beams are discussed.
