Au/Si(111): Local ordering of the (5×2) reconstruction — •C. Seifert, F.-J. Meyer-zu Heringdorf, and M. Horn-von Hoegen — Inst. für Laser- und Plasmaphysik, Universität Duisburg-Essen (Campus Essen)
At Au coverages ΘAu<1/3ML and substrate temperatures above 300∘C, Si(111) surfaces exhibit a striped (5× 2) reconstruction, consisting of three different domains with an angle of 60∘ between them. Upon deposition of Au, each of the domains forms needles that grow predominantly in the 2-fold direction of the reconstruction. The resulting anisotropy is so dominating, that if one domain encounters another one with a different rotational orientation, the needle-like domain keeps growing, and can erode the other domains (1) or even completely intersect them (2). Here we discuss a combined High Resolution Low Energy Electron Diffraction (SPA-LEED) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) experiment to understand the details of the (5× 2) reconstruction. The (5× 2) LEED pattern can be understood as a (5× 1) pattern with elongated (5× 2) spots that form stripes located at 50% Brillouin-Zone (BZ). The detailed shape of the stripes depends on the sample preparation temperature. Room temperature STM measurements combined with fourier analysis and simple simulations of the adatom arrangement indicate a local ordering of the gold adatoms.
