Abstract

The specificity of the local atomic surrounding, the physicochemical state, and the electronic structure of five tin monolayers on a thin buffer layer of silicon formed epitaxially, and their transformation as a result of thermal annealing are studied in situ in the presented work. Using radiation from three synchrotron sources high-resolution surface-sensitive experimental methods, X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, were used as well as computer modeling. The possibility of oxygen atoms diffusion from tin to a buffer layer of silicon during storage of structures in laboratory conditions is shown. It is shown that during the formation of Sn/Si epitaxial nanolayers there are no interatomic interactions at the heterogeneous boundaries of the structure up to the possible formation of a tin-silicon solid solution and as a result no noticeable distortions of the electronic spectrum. However, high-temperature ultrahigh vacuum annealing causes a phase rearrangement of the surface layers of such a structure accompanied by the redistribution of oxygen atoms from tin atoms to silicon of the epitaxial buffer with the formation of the thin layer of SiO2. Within the thin tin-silicon transition layer of the studied structures and along its boundaries a complex bonds can be formed between tin, oxygen, and carbon atoms.
