摘 要: 利用同步辐射光电子能谱(synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy, SRPES)原位、系统地研究Ar+溅射对在Ru(0001)表面外延生长的CeO2(111)薄膜表面的电子结构和化学成分的影响。结果表明:在1 keV和0.5 μA/cm2的Ar+溅射条件下,Ar+溅射引起费米能级以下1.6 eV处出现Ce3+特征的Ce 4f1峰,归结为CeO2表面的Ce4+被还原成Ce3+. 随着溅射时间的增加,还原态Ce3+的峰强度也逐渐增强。15 min后,当溅射到样品表面的Ar+面密度达到2.8×1015 ions/cm2时,还原态Ce3+的峰强度不再增加,生成Ce3+的数量基本达到饱和。Ar+溅射诱导CeO2表面被还原,是由于样品表面的氧原子被优先刻蚀而引起的。经过15 min的Ar+溅射,样品表面形成了大约0.74 nm的CeO2-x层。得到结论:Ar+溅射是一种使CeO2表面还原成CeO2-x的有效方法,样品表面的还原程度主要取决于溅射Ar+的能量和数量。

Abstract: The structure and electronic properties of epitaxial grown CeO2(111) thin films before and after Ar+ bombardment have been systematically studied in situ with synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy (SRPES). Under the condition of the energy of Ar ions being 1 keV and a constant current density of 0.5 μA/cm2, Ar+ bombardment of the surface causes a new emission appearing at 1.6 eV above the Fermi edge, which is related to the localized Ce 4f1 orbital in the reduced oxidation state Ce3+. With increasing time of sputtering, the intensity of the reduced state Ce3+ increases and reaches a constant value after 15 min sputtering, which corresponds to the surface being exposed to 2.8×1015 ions/cm2. The reduction of CeO2 is attributed to a preferential sputtering of oxygen from the surface. Ar+ bombardment leads to a gradual buildup of an, approximately 0.74 nm thick, sputtering altered layer after 15 min sputtering. These studies have demonstrated that Ar+ bombardment is an effective method for reducing CeO2 to CeO2-x and the degree of the reduction is related to the energy and amount of Ar ions been exposed to the CeO2 surface.
