Regular Arrays of Pt Clusters on Alumina: A New Superstructure on Al 2 O 3 /Ni 3 Al(111)

Résumé

Alumina ultrathin films obtained by high temperature oxidation of a Ni3Al (111) surface are a good template to grow regular arrays of metal clusters. Up to now two hexagonal organizations called 'dot' and 'network' structures have been observed with distances between clusters of 4.1 and 2.4 nm, respectively. In the present article we report on an investigation by in situ Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS), showing that Pt deposited at room temperature (RT) and for a low coverage forms a new hexagonal structure with a distance between clusters of 1.38 nm. For the first time, an assembly of tiny Pt clusters (1-6 atoms) with a very high density (5.85x10 13 cm-2) and presenting a good organization on an alumina surface, is obtained. This system could be used to investigate by surface science techniques the new emerging field of Single Atom Catalysis (SAC). By deposition at 573 K small Pt clusters are organized on the network structure. By deposition of Pt at 573 K on pre-formed Pd seeds, large Pt (Pd) clusters containing a hundred of atoms are organized on the dot structure and they remain organized up to 733 K. We show that the three structures are interrelated. The different organizations of the Pt clusters on the alumina surface are explained by the presence of 3 types of sites corresponding to different adsorption energy for Pt atoms.
