Abstract

Low energy electron scattering on terphenylthiol (TPT, HS-(C6H4)2-C6H5) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) deposited onto gold was investigated using high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) by recording specular elastic and inelastic excitation functions. The electron elastic reflectivity could be directly compared to the sample density-of-states (DOS) above vacuum level. A high reflectivity region was observed in the range 7.2–8.6 eV. Inelastic excitation functions were studied to get insights into the mechanisms involved in the excitation of a selection of vibrational modes (dipolar and impact scattering). In particular, a resonant mechanism was observed in the excitation of the stretching mode ν(CC) at 196 meV. The purely resonant contribution to the electron-induced excitation of the stretching modes ν(CH) (379 meV) could be extracted from the overtone excitation. It is located at 7.2 eV above the vacuum level and is characterized by a width of 3.4 eV.

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.
