Abstract

Changes in electron affinity on the C(001) surface of type Ifb diamonds have been studied using a variety of surface analytical techniques, including ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy, secondary electron emission spectroscopy and constant initial states photoemission. Following H-plasma exposure, an intense low-energy emission peak was observed with all spectroscopies. The emission intensity associated with the chemisorbed hydrogen was found to be a linear function of surface hydrogen coverage. The proposed mechanism for the hydrogen induced changes in electron affinity is the creation of a dipole on the surface by the addition of hydrogen which opposes the surface potential of the bare surface. A total change in electron affinity of 2.2 eV was measured upon hydrogen termination of the clean 2x1 surface. Constant initial states photoemission demonstrates that the intense low-energy electron emission observed arises from electrons emitted from bulk states at the conduction band edge. Oxygen, as an electronegative species, was found to have the opposite effect and the electron affinity was increased by ∼3.7 eV upon oxygen termination relative to the clean 2x I surface.
