The Effect of the Fractal Clusters on the Si (111)-7×7 Surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
one of the most important ingredients responsible for the success of integrated silicon technology is the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET), and a major reason for its success is the MOSFET's scalability. Although the industry uses silicon and silicon dioxide in the electronic devices, it can be used for opto-electronic devices as well due to formation of fractal oxide clusters on the silicon substrate. The Nano-opto electronics revolution has been possible through an extensive study of the optical properties of silicon dioxide structure on silicon substrate. This includes an investigation of the surface structure and stacking fault of silicon and oxygen atoms on Si (111)-7×7 surfaces . Indeed, there are some issues which are playing important rules in the formation of the longwavelength absorption spectral wing. One issue is stacking fault atoms in the Si (111)-7×7 unit cell which determines the monotonic decrease of absorption with increase of wavelength and the other issue is due to incoming oxygen atom which leads to breaking silicon and oxygen bonds and causes the appearance of the additional spectral maximum. We have thus studied the effect of variation of the parameters of fractal clusters on optical spectra by using coupled-dipole method. In this work, we considered particle electrodynamics dipole-dipole interactions, for the appearance of individual specific features in the spectral absorption.

Formation of linearly linked Fe clusters on Si(111)-7 × 7-C2H5OH surface
UNLABELLED The Fe atoms were deposited on the Si(111)-7 × 7 surface, which has been saturated with the C2H5OH molecules. Then, the Fe clusters were formed on Si(111)-7 × 7-C2H5OH surface and in situ observed by the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The STM images showed that with the increase of Fe clusters, the size of clusters was about 5 nm and they self-assembled in straightly linked cha...

In this work, SiO2 –ZrO2 mixed oxides was prepared by the polymeric sol–gel route. The characterization of pore structure, which determines the permeation process of membrane, is of great importance. So far, most investigations have focused on such pore structure as specific surface area and pore size distribution, but the surface fractal, the important parameter reflecting the roughness of por...
متن کاملConfiguration dependent critical nuclei in the self assembly of magic clusters.
Evidence for the formation of various 2-D structures possessing different numbers of Co-Si magic clusters (size approximately 10.0 +/- 0.5 A), configurations and lifetimes are studied in real time on a Si(111)-(7 x 7) surface at elevated temperature in the STM. Observations of individual cluster diffusion, attachment and detachment dynamics resolve unequivocally the question of self assembly ov...
