Origin of Symmetric Dimer Images of Si(001) Observed in Low-Temperature STM

Xiao-Yan Ren, Hyun-Jung Kim, Chun-Yao Niu +2

It has been a long-standing puzzle why buckled dimers of the Si(001) surface appeared symmetric below 20 K in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments. Although such symmetr…
