| Abstract: | Using elastic recoil detection analysis and low energy electron diffraction we have investigated the adsorption process of hydrogen on the
surface. We find that (1) room temperature adsorption of atomic hydrogen induces a structure transformation from the
to Si(111)-1 × 1-Ag(H) structures, (2) a saturation coverage of hydrogen is 1.5 monolayer, which almost coincides with the one on a clean 7 × 7 surface, and (3) thermal desorption of hydrogen from the ordered 1 × 1-Ag(H) surface results in the recovery of the original
surface. |
