In contrast to the epitaxial growth on Si(111) [1,2], our STM experiments on the annealed Dy/Si(001) interface reveal the formation of self-organized low-dimensional structures. In the monolayer range a close-packed arrangement of wires is observed at 500 ^∘C, while more extended and isolated wires are formed at 600 ^∘C. At higher coverages, large rectangular clusters are found, surrounded by troughs in the substrate [3]. Scanning photoemission microscopy performed at the ESCA microscopy beamline at ELETTRA has shown a variety of spectral components that vary considerably with the preparation conditions. From the chemical maps and the Si-2p, Dy-4d and Dy-4f spectra acquired on selected microspots we determined the lateral variations in the chemical composition and electronic structure. A band bending as low as 0.15 ± 0.05 was found.
