Atomic structure of the single step and dynamics of Sn adatoms on the Si(111)-\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}-Sn surface
R. A. Zhachuk, D. I. Rogilo, A. S. Petrov +4
The atomic structure of well-ordered single steps on the Si(111)-\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}-Sn surface and the dynamics of Sn adatoms in the vicinity of these steps was studied. The wo…
Universal building block for (1 1 0)-family silicon and germanium surfaces
R. A. Zhachuk, A. A. Shklyaev
The universal building block which is an essential part of all atomic structures on (1 1 0) silicon and germanium surfaces and their vicinals is proposed from first-principles calc…
Magnification effects in scanning tunneling microscopy: the role of surface radicals
Ruslan Zhachuk, Jose Coutinho
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is a fundamental tool for determination of the surface atomic structure. However, the interpretation of high resolution microscopy images is not…
Formation of ordered arrays of Ag nanowires and nanodots on Si(5 5 7) surface
R. A. Zhachuk, S. A. Teys, A. E. Dolbak +1
The ordered arrays of Ag nanowires and nanodots have been grown in ultra-high vacuum on the Si(5 5 7) surface containing regular steps of three bilayer height. Formation of Ag nano…
Orientation and structure of triple step staircase on vicinal Si(1 1 1) surfaces
S. A. Teys, K. N. Romanyuk, R. A. Zhachuk +1
The vicinal Si(111) surface, inclined towards the [-1-12] direction, was investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy and spot profile analysing low energy electron diffraction.…
Pentagons in the Si surface reconstruction
Ruslan Zhachuk, Sergey Teys
The microscopic structure of the high-index Si surface is investigated combining scanning tunneling microscopy with ab initio calculations. We present a structur…
