Phase transition on the Si(001) clean surface prepared in UHV MBE chamber: A study by high resolution STM and in situ RHEED
L. V. Arapkina, V. A. Yuryev, K. V. Chizh +3
Pre-growth preparation of the Si(001) clean surface is a key process for Ge/Si UHV MBE. It usually includes pre-cleaning by liquid etchants, thermal pretreatment in UHV and removal…

CMOS compatible dense arrays of Ge quantum dots on the Si(001) surface: Hut cluster nucleation, atomic structure, and array life cycle during UHV MBE growth
L. V. Arapkina, V. A. Yuryev
We report a direct observation of Ge hut nucleation on Si(001) during UHV MBE. The study was carried out using a UHV instrument coupling MBE chamber and STM which enables the sampl…
