Abstract: | The dimer configurations on the Si(001) surface at high temperatures have been investigated using the rocking curve of reflection high-energy electron diffraction. The Si(001) surface shows a displacive phase transition around 900 K, where a well-known asymmetric (tilted) dimer structure on the Si(001) at room temperature transforms to a symmetric dimer structure around 900 K. The metallic feature of the Si(001) surface above 900 K can be explained by the phase transition. |
