| Popis: | Most oscillating reactions (ORs) happen in solutions. Few existing solid-based ORs either happen on solid/gas (e.g., oxidation or corrosion) or solid/liquid interfaces, or at the all-solid interfaces neighboring to metals or ionic conductors (e.g., electrolysis or electroplate). We report in this paper a new type of all-solid based OR that happens at the insulator (amorphous SiO$_2$)/semiconductor (Si) interface with the interfacial point defects as the oscillating species. This OR is the first example of the point-defect coupled ORs (PDC-ORs) proposed by H. Schmalzried et al. and J. Janek et al. decades ago. We use proton implantation as the driving force of the oscillation, and employ techniques common in semiconductor device characterization to monitor the oscillation in situ. This approach not only overcomes the difficulties associated with detecting reactions in solids, but also accurately measure the oscillating ultra-low concentration ($10^{10}\sim10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$) of the interfacial charged point-defects. We propose a mechanism for the reported PDC-OR based on the Brusselator model by identifying the interfacial reactions. Comment: 57 pages, 12 figures |
