Adsorption behavior of Fe atoms on a naphthalocyanine monolayer on Ag(111) surface

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/24/7/076802

Abstract Adsorption behavior of Fe atoms on a metal-free naphthalocyanine (H₂Nc) monolayer on Ag(111) surface at room temperature has been investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT) based calculations. We found that the Fe atoms were adsorbed on the centers of H₂Nc molecules and formed Fe–H₂Nc complexes at low coverage. DFT calculations show that Fe sited in the center of the molecule is the most stable configuration, in good agreement with the experimental observations. After an Fe–H₂Nc complex monolayer was formed, the extra Fe atoms self-assembled to Fe clusters of uniform size and adsorbed dispersively at the interstitial positions of Fe–H₂Nc complex monolayer. Therefore, the H₂Nc monolayer grown on Ag(111) could be a good template to grow dispersed magnetic metal atoms and clusters at room temperature for further investigation of their magnetism-related properties.
