1.1 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

Surface science in general and surface chemistry in particular have a long and distinguishedhistory. The spontaneous spreading of oil on water was described in ancient times and wasstudied by Benjamin Franklin. A timeline of the historical development of surface chemistrysince then is shown in Figure 1.1. The application of catalysis started in the early 1800s, withthe discovery of the platinum (Pt)-surface-catalyzed reaction of H2 and O2 in 1823 byDobereiner. He used this reaction in his “lighter” (i.e., a portable flame) source, of whichhe sold a large number. By 1835 [1], the discovery of heterogeneous catalysis was completethanks to the studies of Kirchhoff, Davy, Henry, Philips, Faraday, and Berzelius. It was atabout this time that the Daguerre process was introduced for photography. The study of tri-bology, or friction, also started around this time, coinciding with the industrial revolution,

although some level of understanding of friction appears in the work of Leonardo da Vinci.Surface-catalyzed chemistry-based technologies first appeared in the period of 1860–1912,starting with the Deacon process (2HCl þ O2! H2O þ Cl2), SO2 oxidation to SO3

(Messel, 1875), the reaction of methane (CH4) with steam to produce CO and H2 (Mond,1888), ammonia (NH3) oxidation (Ostwald, 1901), ethylene (C2H4) hydrogenation(Sabatier, 1902), and NH3 synthesis (Haber, Mittasch, 1905–1912). Surface tensionmeasurements and recognition of equilibrium constraints on surface-chemical processesled to the development of the thermodynamics of surface phases by Gibbs (1877). The exist-ence of polyatomic or polymolecular aggregates that lack crystallinity and diffuse slowly(e.g., gelatine and albumin) was described in 1861 by Graham, who called these systems“colloids”. Polymolecular aggregates that exhibit internal structure were called “micelles”by Nageli, and stable metal colloids were prepared by Faraday. However, the colloid subfieldof surface chemistry gained prominence at the beginning of the 20th century with the rise ofthe paint industry and the preparation of artificial rubbers. Studies of light bulb filament life-times, high-surface-area gas absorbers in the gas mask, and gas-separation technologies inother forms, led to investigations of atomic and molecular adsorption (Langmuir, 1915).The properties of chemisorbed and physisorbed monolayers, adsorption isotherms, dissocia-tive adsorption, energy exchange, and sticking upon gas–surface collisions were studied.Studies of electrode surfaces in electrochemistry led to the detection of the surface spacecharge [2] (for a review of electrochemistry in the 19th century, see Ref. [3]). The surfacediffraction of electrons was discovered by Davisson and Germer (1927). Major academicand industrial laboratories focusing on surface studies have been formed in Germany(Haber, Polanyi, Farkas, Bonhoefer), the United Kingdom (Rideal, Roberts, Bowden), the

United States (Langmuir, Emmett, Harkins, Taylor, Ipatief, Adams), and many othercountries. They have helped to bring surface chemistry into the center of development ofchemistry—both because of the intellectual challenge to understand the rich diversity ofsurface phenomena and because of its importance in chemical and energy conversiontechnologies.

In the early 1950s, focus in chemistry research shifted to studies of gas-phase molecularprocesses, as many new techniques were developed to study gas-phase species on the mol-ecular level. This was not the case in surface and interface chemistry, although the newlydeveloped field-ion and electron microscopies did provide atomic level information on sur-face structure. The development of surface-chemistry-based technologies continued at a veryhigh rate, however, especially in areas of petroleum refining and the production of commod-ity chemicals. Then, in the late 1950s, the rise of the solid-state-device-based electronicsindustry and the availability of economical ultrahigh vacuum systems (UHV) (developedby research in space sciences) provided surface chemistry with new challenges and oppor-tunities, resulting in an explosive growth of the discipline. Clean surfaces of single crystalscould be studied for the first time, and the preparation of surfaces and interfaces with knownatomic structure and controlled composition was driving the development of microelec-tronics and computer technologies. New surface instrumentation and techniques havebeen developed that permit the study of surface properties on the atomic scale. Many ofthe most frequently used surface characterization techniques are listed in Table 1.1. Mostof these have been developed since the 1960s.

As a result of the sudden availability of surface characterization techniques, macroscopicsurface phenomena (adsorption, bonding, catalysis, oxidation and other surface reactions,diffusion, desorption, melting and other phase transformation, growth, nucleation, chargetransport, atom, ion, and electron scattering, friction, hardness, lubrication) are beingre-examined on the molecular scale. This finding has led to a remarkable growth of surfacechemistry that has continued uninterrupted to date. The discipline has again become oneof the frontier areas of chemistry. The newly gained knowledge of the molecular ingredientsof surface phenomena has given birth to a steady stream of high-technology products,including new hard coatings that passivate surfaces; chemically treated glass, semiconduc-tor, metal, and polymer surfaces, where the treatment imparts unique surface properties;newly designed catalysts, chemical sensors, and carbon fiber composites; surface-space-charge-based copying; and new methods of electric, magnetic, and optical signal processingand storage. Molecular surface chemistry is being utilized increasingly in biologicalscience.

1.2 SURFACES AND INTERFACES: CLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTIES

Condensed phases (solids and liquids) must have surfaces or interfaces. The suit of an astro-naut maneuvering in outer space represents a solid–vacuum interface (Fig. 1.2a); a basket-ball player jumping to score is a moving solid–gas interface (Fig. 1.2b); a sailboat movingover the waves is a solid–liquid interface (Fig. 1.2c); a tire sliding at the solid–solid interface(Fig. 1.2d). The surface of a lake is a liquid–gas interface. Olive oil poured on top of an openbottle of wine to prevent air oxidation forms a liquid–liquid interface. These interfaces exhi-bit some remarkable physical and chemical properties. The chemical behavior of surfaces isresponsible for heterogeneous catalysis (e.g., NH3 synthesis) and gas separations (as in theextraction of oxygen and nitrogen from air) by selective adsorption. Mechanical surface

properties give rise to adhesion, friction, or sliding. Magnetic surfaces are used for infor-mation storage (e.g., magnetic tape or computer disk drive). Optical surface phenomenaare responsible for color and texture perception, total internal reflection needed for trans-mission through glass fibers, and the generation of second and higher harmonic frequenciesin nonlinear laser optics. The electrical behavior of surfaces often gives rise to surface chargebuildup, which is used for image transfer in xerography and for electron transport in inte-grated circuitry (Fig. 1.3).

Surfaces and interfaces are favorite media of evolution. Both photosynthetic and bio-logical systems, the brain (Fig. 1.4) and the leaf (Fig. 1.5), evolve and improve by everincreasing their interface area or their interface/volume ratio. The large number of foldsin the human brain (Fig. 1.4) helps to maximize the number of surface sites, whichalso facilitate charge transport and the transport of molecules. A leaf is a high-surface-area system designed to maximize the absorption of sunlight in order to carry outchlorophyll-catalyzed photosynthesis at optimum rates (Fig. 1.5). The spine of the seaurchin has remarkable strength that is achieved by the layered structure of an inorganic–organic composite, namely, single-crystalline calcium carbonate (CaCO3) that grows onordered layers of acidic macromolecules deposited on layers of protein (Fig. 1.6). Theseare but some of the examples that show how external surfaces are frequently usedin nature.

1.3.1 Surface Concentration

The concentration of atoms or molecules at the surface of a solid or liquid can be estimatedfrom the bulk density. For a bulk density of 1 g cm23 (e.g., water), the molecular density r,in units of molecules per cubic centimeter (cm3), is �5 � 1022. The surface concentration of

Weiner, L. Addadi, and A. Berman, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.)

molecules s (molecules cm22) is proportional to r2/3, assuming a cube-like packing, and isthus on the order of 1015 molecules cm22. Because the densities of most solids or liquids areall within a factor of 10 or so of each other, 1015 molecules cm22 is a good order-of-magnitudeestimate of the surface concentration of atoms or molecules for most solids or liquids. Ofcourse, surface atom concentration of crystalline solids may vary by a factor of 2 or 3, depend-ing on the type of packing of atoms at a particular crystal face.

1.3.1.1 Clusters and Small Particles. If a cluster is small enough, all of the atoms in thecluster are by necessity “surface atoms”. As a cluster grows in size, some atoms may becomecompletely surrounded by neighboring atoms and are thus no longer on the “surface”(Fig. 1.7). We frequently describe the concentration of surface atoms in a cluster with agiven size by its dispersion D, where D is the ratio of the number of surface atoms to thetotal number of atoms:

D ¼number of surface atoms

total number of atoms(1:1)

For very small particles, D is unity. As the particle grows and some atoms become sur-rounded by their neighbors, the dispersion decreases. The volume of a cluster is roughly pro-portional to d3, the cubic of the cluster size, as is the total number of atoms in the cluster.The surface area of a cluster is roughly proportional to d2. Therefore, the dispersion of a clus-ter is roughly to scale unit 1/d, the inverse of the cluster size (see right panel in Fig. 1.7).

Of course, the dispersion, D, also depends somewhat on the shape of the particle and howthe atoms are packed [177]. For two clusters with the same volume, but different shapes (e.g.,a cube and a sphere), the spherical cluster has a smaller surface area than the cubic cluster.Therefore, it is expected that, for the clusters to consist of the same number of atoms, the

However, the dis-persion defined as the number of surface atoms divided by the total number of atoms in the cluster,declines rapidly with increasing cluster size, which is shown in the right panel of the figure. Thesize d is the length of the edge of the cubic clusters. The lattice constant of the fcc clusters is assumedto be 3.9 A, which is close to that of the Pt crystal.

Page 18: SURFACES: AN INTRODUCTION · Atoms or molecules are physisorbed into a porous structure (e.g., a zeolite or a sample of coal) or onto a surface, and the amount of gas adsorbed is

rounder their shape, the lower the dispersion. Figure 1.8 compares the number of surfaceatoms on a cubic and a truncated cubic cluster. For a given total number of atoms, the trun-cated cubic cluster has fewer surface atoms than the cubic cluster.

Heterogeneous catalysts increase the rates of formation of product molecules and modifythe relative distribution of the products. Most catalysts, including those used to produce fuelsand chemicals ranging from high-octane gasoline to polyethylene (PE), are in the form ofsmall particles with a size range of 1–10 nm. This is because chemical reactions are facili-tated by surface atoms instead of bulk atoms. The increase in the dispersion of catalystslowers the material cost of producing the catalysts without changing their catalytic activity.

1.3.1.2 Thin Films. When metals or semiconductors are exposed to the atmosphere, athin layer of oxide is spontaneously formed on their surfaces. The oxide layer may not bevisible to your eyes since it is only a few nanometers thick, but it could serve as a protectivelayer against corrosion, or a insulation layer in the electronic devices, or an active phase incatalytic reactions.

Thin films are of great importance to many real-world problems. Their material costs arevery small compared to bulk materials, and they perform the same function when it comes tosurface processes. A monolayer of Rh (Fig. 1.9a), a very expensive metal, which containsonly �1015 metal atoms/cm22, can catalyze the reduction of nitrous oxide (NO) to dinitro-gen (N2) by its reaction with CO in the catalytic converter of an automobile. Diamond isthe hardest material in nature, but it is too expensive to be used directly for cutting anddrilling tools in the daily life. Deposition of diamond as a thin film on shaped tools again

Thelower panel shows the number of surface atoms as a function of the total number of atoms for the cubiccluster (the solid line) and the truncated cubic cluster (the dashed line). Compared to the cubic cluster,the truncated cubic cluster is relatively rounder, so it has fewer atoms on the surface.

can solve this problem (Fig. 1.9b). By using modern chemical vapor deposition or othervapor deposition techniques, a diamond layer as thick as a few micrometers (mm) can beroutinely grown on various substrates in order to improve the mechanical properties (e.g.,hardness and wear resistance) of cutting and drilling tools.

Modern computer information technology is all built on the devices with complexthin-film structures. The transistors shown in Figure 1.3a and b are made by alternativelydepositing and etching the thin films of Si and insulator materials. The hard drive disk forinformation storage is made of multiple thin layers on the top of a glass substrate(Fig. 1.9c). The first organic lubricant layer and the second hard C layer are used to protectthe surface against impact and scratching by the reading head. Under the operating con-ditions, the disk may spin as fast as 15,000 revolutions per minutes (rpm) and the readinghead is just �3 nm away from the surface, so the protective layers are the key to improvingthe lifetime of the hard drive. Under the protective layers, another multilayer forms themagnetic medium for information storage.

1.3.2 Internal Surfaces: Microporous Solids

Microporous solids are materials that are full of pores of molecular dimensions or larger.These materials have large internal surface areas. Many clays have layer structures that

can accommodate molecules between the layers by a process called intercalation. Graphitewill swell with water vapor to several times its original thickness (Fig. 1.10) as water mol-ecules become incorporated between the graphitic carbon layers.

Crystalline alumina silicates, often called zeolites, have ordered cages of moleculardimensions [178, 179] where molecules can adsorb or undergo chemical reactions(Fig. 1.11). These materials are also called molecular sieves, because they may preferentially

Figure 1.11. Microporous molecular sieve. There are many alumina silicates in nature that have poreswith molecular dimensions. These are called zeolites. Synthetic zeolites are also produced in largenumbers, mostly from silicates, phosphates, and borates. They are used as selective absorbers ofgases or liquids, and are the catalysts utilized in the largest volume in chemical and petroleum techno-logies. (See color insert.)

adsorb certain molecules according to their size or polarizability. This property is of greatcommercial importance and may be used to separate mixtures of gases (air) or liquids orto carry out selective chemical reactions. Bones of mammals are made out of calcium apatite,which has a highly porous structure, with pores on the order of 10 nm (100 A) in diameter.Coal [180, 181] and char have porous structures, with pore diameters on the order of102–103 nm (103–104 A). These materials have a very large internal surface areas, in therange of 100–400 m2 g21 of solid. As this short survey has shown, nature has providedus with many useful microporous materials; and many synthetic microporous substancesare used in technology, both to separate gas and liquid mixtures by selective adsorptionand to carry out surface reactions selectively in their pores, which are often of moleculardimensions. Because surface reaction rate (product molecules formed per second) is pro-portional to surface area, materials with high internal surface areas carry out surface reactionsat very high rates.

1.4 CLEAN SURFACES

In order to study atomically clean surfaces, we must work under so-called ultrahigh vacuum(UHV) conditions [182–185], as the following rough calculation shows. We know that theconcentration of atoms on the surface of a solid is on the order of 1015 cm22. To keep thesurface clean for 1 s or 1 h, then, the flux of molecules incident on the initially clean surfacemust therefore be less than �1015 molecules21 cm22 s21 or �1012 molecules21 cm22 s21,respectively. From the kinetic theory of gases [186], the flux, F, of molecules striking thesurface of unit area at a given ambient pressure, P, is

where M is the average molar weight of the gaseous species, T is the temperature, and NA isAvogadro’s number. Substituting P ¼ 4 � 1024 Pa (3 � 1026 Torr) and using the valuesM ¼ 28 g mol21 and T ¼ 300 K, we obtain F ¼1015 molecules21 cm22 s21. Thus, atthis pressure the surface is covered with a monolayer of gas within seconds, assumingthat each incident gas molecule “sticks”. For this reason, the unit of gas exposure is1.33 � 1024 Pa-s (1026 Torr-s), which is called the Langmuir (L). Thus, a 1-L exposurewill cover a surface with a monolayer amount of gas molecules, assuming a sticking coeffi-cient of unity. At pressures on the order of 1.33 � 1027 Pa (1029 Torr), it may take 103 sbefore a surface is covered completely.

1.4 CLEAN SURFACES 25

In practice, one usually wants to study a surface without worrying about contaminationfrom ambient gases. Current surface-science techniques can easily detect contaminationon the order of 1% of a monolayer. Then, this will be our operational definition of“clean”. Thus, UHV conditions (,1.33 � 1027 Pa ¼ 1029 Torr) are required to maintaina clean surface for �1 h, the time usually needed to perform experiments on cleansurfaces.

1.5 INTERFACES

In most circumstances, however, and certainly in our Earth’s environment, surfaces arecontinually exposed to gases or liquids or placed in contact with other solids. As a result,we end up investigating the properties of interfaces (i.e., between a solid and gas, a solidand a liquid, a solid and a solid, and even between two immiscible liquids). Thus, unlessspecifically prepared otherwise, surfaces are always covered with a layer of atoms ormolecules from the neighboring phase (Fig. 1.12).

1.5.1 Adsorption

On approaching the surface, each atom or molecule encounters an attractive potential thatultimately will bind it to the surface under proper circumstances. The process that involvestrapping of atoms or molecules that are incident on the surface is called adsorption. It isalways an exothermic process. For historical reasons, the heat of adsorption, DHads isalways denoted as having a positive sign—unlike the enthalpy, DH, which for an exothermicprocess would be negative according to usual thermodynamic convention.

The residence time, r, of an adsorbed atom is given [187] by

t ¼ t0 expDHads

RT

� �(1:5)

where t0 is correlated with the surface atom vibration times (it is frequently on the order of10212 s), T is the temperature, and R is the gas constant. The value of t can be 1 s or longer at300 K for DHads . 63 kJ mol (15 kcal mol21). The surface concentration s (in moleculescm22) of adsorbed molecules on an initially clean surface is given by the product of the inci-dent flux, F, and the residence time

s ¼ Ft (1:6)

The surface of the material on which adsorption occurs is often called the substrate.Substrate–adsorbate bonds are usually stronger than the bonds between adsorbed molecules.As a result, the monolayer of adsorbate bonded to the substrate is held most tenaciously andis difficult to remove. Therefore, the properties of real surfaces are usually determined in thepresence of an adsorbed monolayer. For this reason, in the chapters that follow we will dis-cuss the various properties of surfaces when clean and also when covered with a monolayerof adsorbate.

1.5.2 Thickness of Surface Layers

A surface or interface may be defined as comprising of either one atomic layer or severallayers in the near-surface region. Usually, the phenomena or the systems studied definethe number of atomic layers that must be considered as part of the surface. For example,the chemical bond between an adsorbed molecule and atoms in the topmost atomic layerof a metal can be described rather well by considering the properties of one monolayer ofadsorbate and one monolayer of substrate atoms. However, the build up of charge at the sur-face of an electrical insulator may induce an electric field that extends .100 layers into thesolid. When such a surface is in contact with a liquid, the electric field due to the surfacecharge accumulation also extends into the liquid several molecular layers deep. In this cir-cumstance, the interface must be defined as many atomic layers thick on both sides of thesurface in order to properly describe the electrical properties of the interface.

1.6 THE TECHNIQUES OF SURFACE SCIENCE

Over the last four decades, a large number of techniques have been developed to study var-ious surface properties, including structure, composition, oxidation states, and changes of

Page 24: SURFACES: AN INTRODUCTION · Atoms or molecules are physisorbed into a porous structure (e.g., a zeolite or a sample of coal) or onto a surface, and the amount of gas adsorbed is

chemical, electronic, and mechanical properties. The emphasis has been on surface probesthat monitor properties on the molecular level and are sensitive enough to detect ever smallernumbers of surface atoms. The frontiers of surface instrumentation are constantly beingpushed toward detection of finer detail: atomic spatial resolution, ever smaller energy resol-ution, and shorter time scales. Because no one technique provides all the necessary infor-mation about surface atoms, the tendency is to use a combination of techniques. The mostcommonly used techniques involve the scattering, absorption, or emission of photons, elec-trons, atoms, and ions, although some important surface-analysis techniques cannot beclassified this way.

Electrons, atoms, and ions are used primarily to investigate external surfaces and requirelow ambient pressures during their application. Photons can be used to study both internaland external surfaces because of their much lower scattering cross sections. They can alsobe employed at high-gas pressures and for studies of solid–liquid and solid–solid interfaces.

Because many surface probes require high vacuum during their application, most surfacescience instruments are also equipped with high-pressure or environmental cells. The sampleto be analyzed is first subjected to the usual high-pressure and/or high-temperature con-ditions encountered during reactions in the environmental cell. Then it is transferred intothe evacuated chamber where the surface probe is located for surface analysis. One suchapparatus is shown in Figure 1.13.

Sample preparation is always an important part of surface studies. Single crystals areoriented by X-ray back-diffraction, cut, and polished. They are then ion bombarded orchemically treated to remove undesirable impurities from their surfaces.

Thin films are deposited from vapor by sublimation, sputtering, or the use of plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. Materials of high internal surface area are preparedfrom a sol–gel or by calcination at high temperatures. The genesis and environmental historyof the surface is primarily responsible for its structure and composition and must always becarefully monitored.

Figure 1.13. Photograph of a stainless steel chamber used for surface studies. It is equipped with sur-face characterization instruments that are used in UHV and with a high-pressure cell that is shown inboth open (a) and closed (b) positions. The cell is used to expose the samples to high pressures andtemperatures. The chamber can be evacuated to 10210 Torr and equipped with windows on steel flangeswith glass–metal seals for easy viewing. The flanges are mounted using Cu gaskets to avoid the use oflubricated seals so that the chamber can be “baked” at high temperatures (�2008C) to clean its internalsurfaces. A manipulator that is used to mount the sample provides motion in three dimensions (3D) andpermits cooling and heating. Gas analysis is provided by a mass spectrometer mounted on the chamber.The pressure is measured by ionization and thermocouple gauges.

Table 1.1 lists many of the surface science techniques that have been used most frequentlyin recent years to learn about the interface on the atomic scale [15–187]. The names of thetechniques, their acronyms, and brief descriptions are provided, along with references, if amore detailed study of the capabilities and limitations of a particular technique is desired.We also indicate the primary surface information that can be obtained by the applicationof each technique. Detailed discussions of these techniques are outside the scope of thisbook. The reader is referred to review papers that describe the principles of operation foreach, the instrumentation, and some of the findings of the experiments that used this tech-nique. Many surface-science techniques are used in combination to obtain a more completecharacterization of the structure (atomic, molecular, electronic) and the composition (includ-ing oxidation states) of atoms and molecules at the interface with increasing spatial and timeresolution.

1.7 SUMMARY AND CONCEPTS

† The surface concentration of atoms or molecules is on the order of 1015 for most solidsand liquids.

† Small particles used in surface studies are frequently described in terms of theirdispersion.

† Thin films and microporous solids are systems with high surface/volume ratios.† Many surface-science studies focus on interfaces (solid–gas, solid–liquid, and solid–

solid), since surfaces are covered with adsorbates under the practical conditions inwhich they are utilized.

† The definition of how many atomic layers constitute the “surface region” depends onthe surface phenomena under investigation. For example, one atomic or molecularlayer can be responsible for most surface chemical properties, whereas almost 103

layers are required to investigate surface effects in electron or photon transport.† Most techniques provide information on only one side of the surface–adsorbate bond.

Future instrumentation developments aim for molecular level studies at buried inter-faces, of both sides of the surface chemical bonds, and on an ever shorter time scale(time-resolved studies).

† Photon, electron, atom, and ion scattering are utilized most frequently to study surfaceatomic and electronic structures and composition. Vacuum or reduced pressures at theinterface is needed during experiments using electrons, atoms, and ions. As a result, weknow more about the properties of the solid–vacuum and solid–gas interfaces thanabout solid–liquid, solid–solid, and liquid–liquid interfaces.

† Clean, adsorbate-free surfaces must be prepared in UHV.† Selective adsorption of atoms and molecules are also important tools for studies of

surface composition and bonding.
