Low-dimensional systems can be realized by self-organized arrays of adatoms on semiconductor surfaces. In the last years, significant advances have been made in the growth and spectroscopy of nanowire systems, especially on Ge(001). A fascinating and still open question is whether one can grow such structures with magnetic atoms, which might lead to spin-ordered chains.
Here we study the growth of Fe atoms on Ge(001) by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Deposition of Fe at ∼ 400∘C substrate temperature leads to formation of two different Fe-induced reconstructions: A (2×1) reconstruction exhibiting chain-like character, and a c(4×2) reconstruction that shows a two-dimensional architecture. The structural features for both phases as seen in STM, as well as their occurence in the phase diagram will be discussed in detail.
