Temporal Evolution of Surface Contamination under Ultra-high Vacuum

Ultra-high vacuum (UHV) is essential to many surface characterization techniques and is often applied with the intention of reducing exposure to airborne contaminants. Surface contamination under UHV is not well-understood, however, and introduces uncertainty in surface elemental characterization or...

520 |a Ultra-high vacuum (UHV) is essential to many surface characterization techniques and is often applied with the intention of reducing exposure to airborne contaminants. Surface contamination under UHV is not well-understood, however, and introduces uncertainty in surface elemental characterization or hinders surface-sensitive manufacturing approaches. In this work, we investigated the time-dependent surface composition of gold samples with different initial levels of contamination under UHV over a period of 24 h with both experiments and physical modeling. Our results show that surface hydrocarbon concentration under UHV can be explained by molecular adsorption-desorption competition theory. Gold surfaces that were initially pristine adsorbed hydrocarbons over time under UHV; conversely, surfaces that were initially heavily contaminated desorbed hydrocarbons over time. During both adsorption and desorption, the concentration of contaminants tended toward the same equilibrium value. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the temporal evolution of surface contamination under UHV and highlights routes to mitigate surface contamination effects
