Study of Sodium Adsorption on Pb/Si(111) Surfaces

Article Preview

Abstract:

The new reconstructions formed by sodium adsorption on Pb-terminated Si (111) surface were obtained: 2x2+2sqrt3x2sqrt3, 4x1, 3x3 and others. These surface structures have been observed by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and phase diagram for 2D binary (Na,Pb)/Si (111) system has been obtained. The (Na,Pb)/Si (111) system is considered as a two-dimensional alloy layer with highly ordered structure. Influence of two-dimensional alloys on surface conductivity of Si (111) substrate has been studied in situ by four-point-probe method.
