Abstract:The influence of step and domain boundary on growth of Si(111)-√ 3×√3-Ag has been studied in situ using optical surface second-harmonic generation and low energy electron diffraction. The second harmonic intensity shows a difference of about 50% for Si(111) surfaces with different miscut angles and domain boundary densities, although no significant difference has been observed in low energy electron diffraction patterns, indicating a significant impediment to the growth of Si(111)-√ 3×√3-Ag by step and domain … Show more
