Exploiting the nuclear spin for qubits is a possible route towards the realization of quantum computing. Bi in Si is a promising donor based quantum system due to the combination of its large nuclear spin (I = 9/2) and large hyperfine splitting that could be resolved by inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) [1].
In preparation of such a measurement we have investigated Bi in the sub monolayer regime on the Si (111)-(7x7) surface by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We observe the formation of isolated Bi impurities on the surface. Increasing the temperature of the Si sample during the evaporation of Bi we have observed a smaller height of the Bi atoms on the Si (111)-(7x7) surface, which indicates a stronger bound state of Bi atoms to the surface. First steps have been carried out to study the electronic properties of both systems at room temperature.
The ultimate goal is to observe single nuclear spin flips with an STM. As this energy scale is extremely small, we will investigate this using an STM operating at 15 mK for high energy resolution.
