Impact of strain and surface reconstruction on long-range diffusion of Ge atoms on Ge(111) surface

R. A. Zhachuk, A. V. Latyshev, J. Coutinho

We investigate the effect of surface reconstruction and strain on diffusion of adsorbed Ge atoms on Ge$(111)\text{-}5\times 5$ and Ge$(111)\text{-}7\times 7$ surfaces by means of…
