Abstract

The deposition of Se from SeO32− solutions was examined in the submonolayer regime by cyclic voltammetry, scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Up to a coverage of ca. 0.5 (Se atoms to substrate atoms) a smooth adlayer is obtained with a 2 × √3 structure. When the coverage is increased, at around 0.55 V further deposition is paralleled by a roughening starting at the monoatomic steps. The adsorbed Se is stable in the SeO32− free solution. For coverages below 0.25, separate domains for the Se covered regions and Se free regions were observed for potentials above 0.6 V. Since this is the potential of the spike corresponding to adsorption of OH at the clean Rh(111) surface in HClO4, we have to assume that Se and OH adsorb in separate domains. At lower potentials, where OH is desorbed, Se spreads over the complete surface which then appears completely smooth in the STM images. When the coverage is about 0.25 or above, the roughening is also observed in SeO32− free solution, demonstrating that the rough structures are not due to disordered deposition, but really due to a roughening by place exchange.

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.
