项目摘要

The purpose of this project is to elucidate the dynamical properties of excited states on semiconductor surfaces, a typical quasi-two dimensional system, from a unified view point. For this purpose, we tried to apply experimental methods that probe directly the relaxation dynamics of electronically excited states with fs-temporal resolution and structural changes at the atomic level. The former has been achieved by two-photon photoemission (2PPE) spectroscopy, while the latter by the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The knowledge of the dynamics provides fundamental basis on which mechanisms of structural response of the surfaces can be understood from microscopic point of view. Main results obtained are summarized below.1) By using tunable fs-laser pulses as pump pulses, hot-carrier dynamics in Si, including the inter-valley scattering, intra-valley scattering, energy relaxation have been probed directly to obtain quantitative values of relaxation rates. Also, ultrafast carrier sc … More attering into surface states have been demonstrated for Si (001)-(2x1).2) The photoinduced structural changes on covalent semiconductor surfaces with different symmetries and structural properties have been studied systematically for Si (111)-(7x7), Si (001)-(2x1), Si (111)-(2x1), and InP (110)-(1x1). The mechanism of the instability has been identified to be the two-hole localization, which describes quantitatively and systematically the observed features of sensitive structural responses of the surfaces. Thus, we could solve almost completely one of the most important problems of surface science.3) The fundamental mechanism of low-energy electrons less than 15 eV with surfaces have been elucidated by our extensive studies by means of direct observation of surface structural changes at the atomic level.Non-elastic excitation of both the surface localized states, like Si-H bond, and Plasmon generation leads to the local structural changes on Si surfaces.4) The mechanism of tunneling-current induced local bond rupture of surface atoms has been identified to be the two-hole localization mechanism, similar to the case of laser excitation. The hole injection from STM tips to a surface region of atomic level is thus modified with a controlled fashion.5) A new type of surface structural changes of photoinduced structural phase transition fromGraphite-to-Diamond has been discovered for the first time under ultrafast laser excitation at visible region. These results have provided us crucial knowledge for establishing thorough understanding of the dynamical properties of semiconductor surfaces, viewed as a new class of condensed matters with two-dimensionality.

该项目的目的是从统一的角度阐明半导体表面（典型的准二维系统）激发态的动力学性质。为此，我们尝试应用直接探测电子弛豫动力学的实验方法。前者是通过双光子光电子（2PPE）光谱实现的，而后者是通过扫描隧道显微镜（STM）实现的。动力学提供了从微观角度理解表面结构响应机制的基础。主要结果总结如下。1）通过使用可调谐飞秒激光脉冲作为泵浦脉冲，Si 中的热载流子动力学，包括谷间散射、谷内散射、能量弛豫已被直接探测以定量获得弛豫率值，此外，超快载流子散射对硅的表面态也已被证明。 (001)-(2x1).2)系统研究了Si(111)-(7x7)、Si(001)-(2x1)、Si(111)在不同对称性和结构性质的共价半导体表面上的光致结构变化) )-(2x1) 和 InP (110)-(1x1) 的不稳定性机制已被确定为双孔局域化，它定量且系统地描述了观察到的特征。因此，我们几乎可以完全解决表面科学最重要的问题之一。3）我们通过广泛的研究已经阐明了表面小于15 eV的低能电子的基本机制。在原子水平上直接观察表面结构变化。表面局域态（如Si-H键）的非弹性激发和等离子体激元的产生导致Si表面的局域结构变化。4）隧道电流诱导的机制地方债券表面原子的破裂已被确定为双空穴局域化机制，类似于激光激发的情况，因此可以通过受控方式修改从STM尖端到原子级表面区域的空穴注入。5）一种新型。首次在可见光区域超快激光激发下发现了从石墨到金刚石的光致结构相变的表面结构变化，这些结果为我们彻底了解半导体表面的动力学特性提供了重要的知识。一类新的二维凝聚态物质较少。
