Abstract High resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction and quadrupole maas spectrometer (QMS) have been employed to study the effect of atomic hydrogen on the acetylene-saturated pre-adsorbed Si(100)(2×1) surface and the surface phase transition at room temperature. It is evident that the atomic hydrogen has a strong effect on the adsorbed C2H2 and the underlying surface structure of Si. The experimental results show that CH and CH2 radicals co-exist on the Si surface after the dosing of atomic hydrogen; meanwhile, the surface structure changes from Si(100)(2×1) to a dominant of (1×1). These results indicate that the atomic hydrogen can open C=C double bonds and change them into C-C single bonds, transfer the adsorbed C2H2 to C2Hx(x = 3,4) and break the underlying Si-Si dimer, but it cannot break the C-C bond intensively. The QMS results show that some C4 species axe formed during the dosing of atomic hydrogen. It may be the result of atomic hydrogen abstraction from C2Hx which leads to carbon catenation between two adjacent C-C directs. The C4 species formed are stable on Si(100) surfaces up to 1100 K, and can be regarded as the potential host of diamond nucleation.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
