Surface Free Energy Creation of a surface You need energy to create a surface! You break chemical bonds Work to create a surface define the free surface energy γ Thermodynamically, every system want to decrease its surface energy Driving force for solids dW dA T= ∞ Surface Free Energy (2) ■ Minimizing the surface free energy: 1. By reducing the amount of surface area exposed 2. By predominantly exposing surface planes which have a low surface free energy 3. By altering the local surface atomic geometry in a way which reduces the surface free energy Aggregation of the particles Crystal Shapes Relaxation/Reconstruction Crystal Surface ■ Example: fcc crystal Surface Bulk (100) face 8 neighbors 12 neighbors (110) face 7 neighbors ➔ In vacuum the most stable surfaces are : fcc (111) > fcc (100) > fcc (110) Determination of crystals shapes (111) face 9 neighbors Relaxation/Reconstruction (1) ■ Relaxation adjustments in the surface layers spacings perpendicular to the surface Unrelaxed surface Relaxed surface (d1-2 < dbulk ) ■ Reconstruction change in the periodicity of the surface structure and surface symmetry More realistic case (Thin films) Solid-solid interface (a) and (b) are abrupt interfaces since there is no mixing that occurs The non-abrupt interfaces mixing (or interdiffusion) reactive (forming new chemical compounds, possibly multiple phases, the stability of which are dependent on thermodynamic parameters) T-L-K Model ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Describes the structure of equilibrium surfaces Assumption: all bonds are equal in the solid T=Terrace L=Ledge K=Kink ■ Ex: move an atom from a terrace site to a kink site ➔ Difference: the energy of two bonds DG Wkink Wterrace Number of atoms doing transitions n Ne DG kT Conclusion ■ Adsorption Two different types of adsorption Physisorption ➔ Chemisorption ➔ ■ Surface free energy Driving force for solids: decreasing the surface free energy Decrease the surface area ➔ Expose the best surface planes ➔ Relaxation/Reconstruction ➔
