Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:31.47(Crystallography)We have focused on stress measurements of the reconstructed Si(111) 77 and the H-terminated Si(111) 11 surfaces. In order to obtain information on both the surface stress and the surface structure simultaneously, we have combined the surface-curvature and the reflection-high-electron-energy-diffraction instrumentations in an identical ultrahigh vacuum system. At the beginning of Ge wetting layer growth on H-terminated Si(111), the stress gradient drastically changes accompanied by change in the surface structure resulting from the H desorption. Comparison of the surface stress behaviors between Ge wetting layer growth on the H-terminated Si(111) 11 and the Si(111) 77 surfaces reveals that the Si(111) 11 surface releases 1.6 N/m (=J/m), or (1.3 eV/(11 unit cell)), of the surface energy from the strong tensile Si(111) 77 reconstruction.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:23.21(Crystallography)The initial processes of Ge nano cluster formation on Si(110)-162 reconstructed structure were investigated via scanning tunneling microscopy. For a small amount of Ge deposited on Si(110)-162 single-domain structure at room temperature, the surface structure did not change significantly. After direct current heating at 973 K for 20 min, the striped structure almost broken and disordered-like structure was formed on the terrace. With increasing the annealing time, the surface structure changed from disordered-like structure to the 162 double-domain structure and pyramidal nano clusters were formed at the domain boundary. These results suggest that the surface stress was induced by Ge nano cluster formation and the double-domain structure was formed in order to relax the stress.
