Resistive phase transition of the superconducting Si(111)-(7×3)-In surface
: Recently, superconductivity was found on semiconductor surface reconstructions induced by metal adatoms, promising a new field of research where superconductors can be studied from the atomic level. Here we measure the electron transport properties of the Si(111)-(7×3)-In surface near the resistive phase transition and analyze the data in terms of theories of two-dimensional (2D) superconduct...
متن کاملDislocation reduction of InAs nanofins prepared on Si substrate using metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy
InAs nanofins were prepared on a nanopatterned Si (001) substrate by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. The threading dislocations, stacked on the lowest-energy-facet plane {111}, move along the SiO2 walls, resulting in a dislocation reduction, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. The dislocations were trapped within a thin InAs epilayer. The obtained 90-nm-wide InAs nanofins with ...
متن کاملElectronic structure of atomic chains on vicinal Si „ 111 ... - Au
Unusual electronic states are found for gold-induced chain and ladder structures on vicinal Si~111! surfaces, such as Si(111)532-Au and Si~557!-Au. As two-dimensional reference the Si(111)A33A3-Au surface is investigated. The highly stepped Si~557!-Au surface is metallic, despite an even electron count. That is explained by two half-filled, nearly degenerate bands. On the Si(111)532-Au surface ...

Ž . Ž . Electron correlation effects for the Si 111 -3=3 and SnrGe 111 -3=3 reconstructions are analysed introducing Ž . 2-dimensional 2D Hamiltonians whose parameters are deduced from DFT calculations. We find that these two surfaces present striking similarities, with two dangling bonds and one electron per unit cell defining the surface states properties Ž . around the Fermi level. Upon intr...
متن کاملElectronic excitations on the alkali - metal ( Na , Cs ) - adsorbed Si ( 111 ) 7 × 7 surfaces
Electronic excitation spectra of the alkali-metal (AM) (Na,Cs)-adsorbed Si(111)7×7 surfaces have been investigated by using high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. We find that AM induces metal–semiconductor transitions at the early stage of adsorption by completely filling half-filled Si adatom dangling-bond states. A loss peak of energy less than 0.31 eV appears as a precursor of t...
