Electrical conductance at initial stage in epitaxial growth of Pb onmodified Si(111) surface
نویسنده
چکیده
The electrical conductance and RHEED intensities as a function of the coverage have been measured during Pb depositions at 105 K on Si(111)-(6x6)Au with up to 4.2 ML of annealed Pb. The experiments show the strong influence of used substrates on the behavior of the conductance during the epitaxy of Pb atoms, especially for very initial stage of growth. Oscillations of the conductance during the layer-by-layer growth are correlated with RHEED intensity oscillations. The analysis of the conductance behavior is made according to the theory described by Trivedi and Aschcroft (Phys.Rev.B 38,12298 (1988)).

The electrical conductivity changes of the Si(111)-(6x6)Au surface at early stage of Pb deposition was studied experimentally and theoretically as a function of coverage. Pb deposition onto a Si(111)-(6x6)Au surface induce strong change of the conductance even at a low coverage (< 1 monolayer). The experimental results are analyzed using the theoretical model of two dimensional (2D) square atom...
متن کاملInitial geometries, interaction mechanism and high stability of silicene on Ag(111) surface
Using ab initio methods, we have investigated the structures and stabilities of Si(N) clusters (N ≤ 24) on Ag(111) surface as the initial stage of silicene growth. Unlike the dome-shaped graphene clusters, Si clusters prefer nearly flat structures with low buckling, more stable than directly deposition of the 3D freestanding Si clusters on Ag surface. The p-d hybridization between Ag and Si is ...
متن کاملMetal deposition on n-Si(111):H electrodes
Well-defined monohydride-terminated n-Si(111) electrodes were used to study electrodeposition of Pb and Cu as well as electroless Au deposition on these surfaces. With classical electrochemical methods, in-situ STM, ex-situ AFM, SEM and in-situ SXRD, the initial stages of metal deposition and the epitaxial properties of the metal deposit were investigated. © 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

متن کاملSilicene Nanoribbons on Pb-Reconstructed Si(111) Surface
We report on the initial stage of growing of silicon nanostructures on Pb-induced √ 3 × √ 3 and √ 3 × √ 7 reconstructed Si(111) surfaces. The deposition of 0.75 monolayer of Si at a temperature of around 200 K results in Si nanoribbons a few-nanometers in length running in three equivalent high symmetry directions of Si(111) surface, as revealed by low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy ...
متن کاملEpitaxial growth mechanisms and structure of CaF2/Si(111).
The early stages of interface formation between CaF2 and Si(111)have been studied, in situ, by a combination of reflection high-energy electron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, and core-level photoemission. The results are combined with ex situ transmission-electron-microscopy measurements to show that the initial growth mode changes from Volmer-Weber to Stranski-Krastanow, depending on the subs...
