Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Surface Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Understanding solid-liquid interfaces at the atomic scale is crucial for materials processing.
  • Electron-beam interactions with nanomaterials can induce complex structural and chemical transformations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the atomic-scale dynamics of lead sulfide-lead (PbS-Pb) solid-liquid interfaces under electron-beam irradiation.
  • To elucidate the mechanism of selective sputtering and its effect on interface evolution.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of PbS-Pb solid-liquid nanointerfaces by heating PbS nanocrystals under vacuum.
  • Time-resolved high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) imaging for atomic-scale observation.
  • In situ electron-beam irradiation to induce and monitor dynamic processes.

Main Results:

  • Electron-beam irradiation induced layer-by-layer dissolution of PbS, forming Pb nanodroplets.
  • Selective sputtering of sulfur atoms was confirmed by Pb nanodroplet formation.
  • Ordered liquid layers persisted at the interface under irradiation, following its movement.
  • Reversible process of instantaneous epitaxial growth of PbS was observed.

Conclusions:

  • Selective sputtering of sulfur atoms by electron beams triggers intermittent phase transitions at PbS-Pb nanointerfaces.
  • Atomic resolution in situ observations provide insights into nonequilibrium dynamics at solid-liquid interfaces.
  • The findings offer a fundamental understanding of electron-beam-induced surface phenomena in nanomaterials.
