Figure 1

Infrared absorption of 1,5-cyclooctadiene layer on Si(100) for s- and p-polarized light:

(1a) definition of polarization directions;
(1b) absorption spectra obtained with s- and p-polarized light, showing spectral regions corresponding to the Si-H and C-H stretching regions.


Figure 2

STM images of Si(001) after exposure to 1,5-cyclooctadiene.

(2a) Image obtained at low coverage showing individual COD molecules and the underlying dimerized Si(001) surface. Image obtained at sample voltage of -2.1 V and current of 200 pA.
(2b) Height profile along the line indicated in (2a).
(2c) STM image obtained after saturation exposure showing highly-ordered array of COD molecules on Si(001) surface. Image obtained at a sample voltage of -2.4 V and current of 200 pA.
(2d) Magnified view of saturation-coverage surface showing apparent internal structure of molecules on the surface.


Figure 3

XPS spectrum of Si(100) after exposure to saturation coverage of 1,5-cyclooctadiene. Schematic depiction of incident electric field vector with respect to the Si(001) surface. Large dots denote experimental data, the solid line represents a fit to three Gaussian peaks as decribed in text, and dashed lines show the individual fit components.

Schematic structures for free and surface-bonded 1,5-cyclooctadiene:

(4a) lowest-energy configuration of COD molecule;
(4b) endo approach of COD to Si(001)surface;
(4c) exo approach of COD to Si(001)surface;
(4d) energy-minimized geometry of 1,5-cyclooctadiene on Si 9 cluster.
