L. Stobinski et al., ATOMIC-HYDROGEN ADSORPTION ON THIN DISCONTINUOUS AND CONTINUOUS GOLD-FILMS - SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES, Vacuum, 48(3-4), 1997, pp. 203-207
Atomic hydrogen adsorption on thin discontinuous Au films (nanostructu
res) and on continuous thin Au films was studied by means of TDMS (the
rmal desorption mass spectrometry). The surface topography of thin Au
films was determined by means of AFM (atomic force microscopy). Therma
l desorption (TD) spectra for hydrogen deposit similar for both cases
were registered. However, at low coverage (theta < 0.01), atomic hydro
gen is somewhat more strongly bound on discontinuous nanostructured th
in Au films. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
