In this work we briefly describe the most relevant features of WSXM, a freeware scanning probe microscopy software based on MS-Windows. The article is structured in three different sections: The introduction is a perspective on the importance of software on scanning probe microscopy. The second section is devoted to describe the general structure of the application; in this section the capabilities of WSXM to read third party files are stressed. Finally, a detailed discussion of some relevant procedures of the software is carried out.

Ê Ú ¼ ÂÙÐÝ ¾¼½½ ÔØ ½¿ ÇØÓ Ö ¾¼½½ ×ØÖ ØIn this article, we review special features of Gwyddiona modular, multiplatform, open-source software for scanning probe microscopy data processing, which is available at http://gwyddion.net/ . We describe its architecture with emphasis on modularity and easy integration of the provided algorithms into other software. Special functionalities, such as data processing from non-rectangular areas, grain and particle analysis, and metrology support are discussed as well. It is shown that on the basis of open-source software development, a fully functional software package can be created that covers the needs of a large part of the scanning probe microscopy user community.

Ga and In adsorption on Si(112): Adsorption sites and superstructure

et al. 2017

The adsorption of the two group-III metals Ga and In on Si(112) has strong influence on the morphology of the intrinsically faceted Si(112) surface. Upon Ga or In adsorption, the Si(112) surface is smoothed, and quasi-1D adsorbate structures along the [110] direction are observed. These structures consist of (N ×1) building blocks of different sizes, the periodicity of which can be controlled by surface coverage and deposition temperature, as revealed by spot profile analysis low-energy electron diffraction. From x-ray standing-wave measurements, building blocks consisting of two parallel rows of adsorbate atoms are identified for both Ga/Si(112) and In/Si(112). One adsorption site is identified as a terrace (substitutional) site and the other one as step-edge (adatom) site. These experimental results are compared to several relaxed model structural configurations obtained from density functional theory calculations. In the case of Ga/Si(112), a previously reported structural model by Snijders et al. [Phys. Rev. B 72, 125343 (2005)], including two Ga vacancies per unit cell is corroborated, while for In/Si(112), existing models by Gai et al. [Phys. Rev. B 61, 9928 (2000)] and by Bentmann et al. [Phys. Rev. B 80, 085311 (2009)] can be ruled out, and a new structural model including only one In vacancy per unit cell in the step-edge site is concluded on, similar to the Al/Si(112) model introduced by Gupta and Batra [Phys. Rev. B 72, 165352 (2005)].
