Growth of silicene layers on Ag(111): unexpected effect of the substrate temperature

H. Jamgotchian, Y. Colignon, N. Hamzaoui +4

The deposition of one silicon monolayer on the silver (111) substrate in the temperature range 150-300${}^{\circ }$C, gives rise to a mix of (4$\times$4), ($2\sqrt{3}\times 2\sqrt{3}$)R…
