Among a variety of solid surfaces, Si(001) and Ge(001) have been most extensively studied. Although they seem to be rather simple systems, there have been many conflicting arguments about the atomic structure on these surfaces. We first present experimental evidence indicating that the buckled dimer is the basic building block and that the structural phase transition between the low-temperature c(4x2) structure and the high-temperature (2x1) structure is of the order-disorder type. We then review recent theoretical work on this phase transition. The real system is mapped onto a model Ising-spin system and the interaction parameters are derived from total-energy calculations for different arrangements of buckled dimers. The calculated critical temperature agrees reasonably well with the experimental one. It is pointed out that the nature of the phase transition is crucially affected by a small amount of defects on the real surfaces. 相似文献

0.9 Ge0.1(001)/Si(001) films with SH photon energies 3.1<2hν<3.5 eV near the bulk E1 critical point of Si(001) or Si0.9Ge0.1(001). Ge was deposited on Si(001) by using atomic layer epitaxy cycles with GeH4 or Ge2H6 deposition at 410 K followed by hydrogen desorption. As Ge coverage increased from 0 to 2 monolayers the SH signal increased
uniformly by a factor of seven with no detectable shift in the silicon E1 resonant peak position. SH signals from Si0.9Ge0.1(001)/Si(001) were also stronger than those from intrinsic Si(001). Hydrogen termination of the Si0.9Ge0.1(001) and Ge/Si(001) surfaces strongly quenched the SH signals, which is similar to the reported trend on H/Si(001). We attribute
the stronger signals from Ge-containingsurfaces to the stronger SH polarizability of asymmetric Ge-Si and Ge-Ge dimers compared
to Si-Si dimers. Hydrogen termination symmetrizes all dimers, thus quenching the SH polarizability of all of the surfaces
investigated.

We investigate the instability of one-dimensional dangling-bond (DB) wires fabricated on the H-terminated C(001), Si(001), and Ge(001) surfaces by using density-functional theory calculations. The three DB wires are found to show drastically different couplings between charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom, resulting in an insulating ground state. The C DB wire has an antiferromagnetic spin coupling between unpaired DB electrons, caused by strong electron–electron interactions, whereas the Ge DB wire has a strong charge-lattice coupling, yielding a Peierls-like lattice distortion. For the Si DB wire, the antiferromagnetic spin ordering and the Peierls instability are highly competing with each other. The physical origin of such disparate features in the three DB wires can be traced to the different degree of localization of 2p, 3p, and 4p DB orbitals. 相似文献

The chemical contrast between Si and Ge obtained by scanning tunneling microscopy on Bi-covered Si(111) surfaces is used as a tool to identify two vertical Ge/Si intermixing processes. During annealing of an initially pure Ge monolayer on Si, the intermixing is confined to the first two layers approaching a 50% Ge concentration in each layer. During epitaxial growth, a growth front induced intermixing process acting at step edges is observed. Because of the open atomic structure at the step edges, relative to the terraces, a lower activation barrier for intermixing at the step edge, compared to the terrace, is observed. 相似文献

It is shown that the (2 × 8), (7 × 7) and (5 × 5) reconstructions of the (111) surface of Si and Ge can be interpreted as the structures minimizing pairwise interactions of extended range in the lattice gas model. They are concluded to be modulations of the (2 × 2) structure which are stabilized by a repulsive sixth neighbor interaction and/or an attractive seventh one if the (2 × 2) state is nearly degenerate with the (2 × 4) one for up to fourth neighbor interactions. The analysis is carried out rigorously by use of the method of inequalities. 相似文献

In RHEED patterns from clean Ge(111) and Si(001) surfaces, extra diffraction spots have been observed with superlattice reflection spots due to Ge(111) 2 × 8 and Si(001) 2 × 1 surface structures. The extra spots have not been found out in many previous LEED and RHEED patterns of clean Ge(111) and Si(001) surfaces. When the Ge(111) and Si(001) samples were rotated about an axis normal to the surfaces so as to vary the incident direction of the primary electron beam, the intensity of the extra spots showed a remarkable dependence upon the incident direction and they became invisible in some incident directions, in spite of the experimental condition that an Ewald sphere intersected reciprocal lattice rods of the extra spots. In this study, the extra spots are understood as forbidden reflection spots resulting from double diffraction of superlattice reflections of the surface structures, and the remarkable dependence of their intensity upon the incident direction is explained in terms of excitation of the surface wave of the superlattice reflections. These results suggest that the intensity of diffraction spots in RHEED patterns may be greatly influenced by the surface wave excitation of fundamental and superlattice reflections. 相似文献

The ground state of Sn/Si(111) and Sn/Ge(111) surface alpha phases is reexamined theoretically, based on ab initio calculations where correlations are approximately included through the orbital dependence of the Coulomb interaction (in the local density+Hubbard U approximation). The effect of correlations is to destabilize the vertical buckling in Sn/Ge(111) and to make the surface magnetic, with a metal-insulator transition for both systems. This signals the onset of a stable narrow gap Mott-Hubbard insulating state, in agreement with very recent experiments. Antiferromagnetic exchange is proposed to be responsible for the observed Gamma-point photoemission intensity, as well as for the partial metallization observed above 60 K in Sn/Si(111). Extrinsic metallization of Sn/Si(111) by, e.g., alkali doping, could lead to a novel 2D triangular superconducting state of this and similar surfaces. 相似文献

The AgSi(111) interface is investigated by LEED, AES and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy using 50 eV synchrotron radiation in p-polarization. Results on room temperature (RT) silver growth on Si(111) 7 × 7 are characterized by an evolution of the LEED pattern and of the d band shape which is consistent with 2D island formation in the submonolayer range. When the Ag coverage (Θ) is increased, a progressive build-up of Ag layers occurs with a possible interdiffusion of the atomic constituents. The ordered structure (R3) obtained by annealing a 1 ML RT deposit gives rise to new interface states near EF. In contrast to the RT deposit at the same Θ, two well defined d band peaks are present while the bulk Si emission near 3.4 eV is clearly seen. The R3 data would favour recent crystallographic models which conclude to an embedment of the Ag atoms in a threefold hollow adsorption site. 相似文献
