在實驗中將金磊晶至有微小切角之Si(111)-(7×7)表面會出現兩種不同的圖形 樣式。若在600℃磊晶時,我們發現幾乎在每個平台之上台階處會有條狀之(5×2)重 構。若在700℃磊晶時,則只會在多個平台其中之一的平台表面形成完整的(5×2)重 構,而其他平台則無變化。(5×2)及(7×7)平台之比例關係是由金之磊晶量所決定。 在700℃以上熱退火後,條狀(5×2)圖樣轉變為完整之(5×2)平台圖樣。在特定條件 下(5×2)重構會呈現類似週期性結構的圖樣,表示其中可能有ㄧ long-range elastic interaction 的機制在其中。我們可以利用(5×2)的成長圖樣應用在設計奈米結構之 模板。
Two distinct patterns have been observed by depositing sub-monolayer Au onto a Si(111)-(7×7) surface with a small miscut angle. Upon depositing Au at 600℃, we find that a stripe of (5×2) reconstruction forms at the upper step edge in mostly every terrace. For 700℃ deposition, one entire terrace out of several terraces transforms into the (5×2) reconstruction while the other terraces are totally unaffected by the Au deposition. The relative population between the (5×2) and the (7×7) terrace is governed by the amount of deposited Au. After annealing at a temperature above 700℃ the striped (5×2) pattern transforms, or grows, into the (5×2)-terrace pattern. In a given condition, (5 × 2) reconstruction show a periodic-like pattern, there may have a mechanism of long-range elastic interaction incuded. One application using the (5×2) pattern as a template to grow nanostructure in designated regions will be demonstrated.
