Abstract

The adsorption states of size-selected Ptn clusters (7 ≤ n ≤ 20) soft-landed on an Al2O3/NiAl(110) substrate were investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy, infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, and temperature programmed desorption. Ptn clusters lay flat on the surface with a planar structure (n ≤ 18), and three-dimensional two-layer clusters start to appear at n ≥ 19. By considering the Pt–Pt and Pt–oxide bonds in the cluster, the morphological transition could be reasonably explained. Using CO probe molecules, the chemical states of the Pt atoms inside the clusters were investigated. Two ontop CO species were observed inside the clusters, and were assigned as adsorbed CO on neutral and slightly cationic Pt atoms. Despite the first layer Pt atoms, the Ptn clusters are composed of two kinds of Pt atoms. The observed size dependence of the Pt atoms inside the clusters may contribute to the size-dependent chemical reactivity of Ptn clusters on the Al2O3 surface.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
