Phonons of Metallic Vicinal Surfaces
We present an analysis of the vibrational dynamics of metal vicinal surfaces using the embedded atom method to describe the interaction potential and both a real space Green’s function method and a slab method to calculate the phonons. We report two main general characteristics : a global shift of the surface vibrational density of states resulting from a softening of the force field. The latte...
متن کاملInstabilities of Vicinal Silicon ( 111 ) Surfaces
The morphological instabilities of vicinal Si(111) due to a DC electric current and due to the 7 x 7 reconstruction are studied using a variety of diffraction and imaging techniques. The current induced instabilities which occur at sublimation temperatures or under conditions of step-flow produce morphological features on length scales appropriate for optical studies, 5 50,u. Optical microscopy...
متن کاملCan One Have Preroughening of Vicinal Surfaces?
We discuss the possibility that, besides roughening, a vicinal surface could display preroughening (PR), and consider the possible mechanisms for its promotion. Within the framework of a terrace-step-kink model, it turns out that a PR transition is possible, and could be induced by a short-range repulsion between parallel kinks along the same step or on adjacent steps, or even by some kind of e...
متن کاملBosonizations, Vicinal Surfaces, and Hydrodynamic Fluctuation Theory
We relate bosonic density uctuations of a Fermi uid in one dimension to surface uctuations. Thereby we easily identify the parameters governing the low energy, Luttinger liquid behavior. In particular we recover the Haldane relation in case the surface is tilted only transversely to the Euclidean time direction. We develop a hydrodynamic uctuation theory for the world lines of particles. Since ...
متن کاملStep Patterns on Vicinal Reconstructed Surfaces
Step patterns on vicinal (2× 1) reconstructed surfaces of noble metals Au(110) and Pt(110), miscut towards the (100) orientation, are investigated. The free energy of the reconstructed surface with a network of crossing opposite steps is calculated in the strong chirality regime when the steps cannot make overhangs. It is explained why the steps are not perpendicular to the direction of the mis...
