Structure of Cu(100)-c(2x2)N surfaces — •Julia Andrews, Kariman Elshimi, Torsten Veltum, and Mathias Getzlaff — Institut für angewandte Physik, Universität Düsseldorf, 40225 Düsseldorf

Nanostructured surfaces have become of significant interest in the field of surface science over recent years. The understanding of self-arranged structures is relevant for instance for the use as a pattern for nanoparticle deposition. We study the pattern that nitrogen forms when reacting with a Cu(100) surface.

Under ultra-high vacuum conditions, we first proceed to a standard cleaning of the copper crystal by sputtering with argon followed by annealing. To prepare the Cu(100)-c( 2 ×2)N surface we sputter with activated nitrogen followed again by annealing.

We examine the crystal structure by low energy electron diffraction (LEED). With a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) we observe how the nitrogen arranges itself when forming CuxN.
