One-dimensional Si-in-Si(001) template for single-atom wire growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single atom metallic wires of arbitrary length are of immense technological and scientific interest. We present atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscope data of a silicon-only template, which modeling predicts to enable the self-organized growth of isolated micrometer long surface and subsurface single-atom chains. It consists of a one-dimensional, defect-free Si reconstruction four dimers wide—the Haiku core—formed by hydrogenation of self-assembled Bi-nanolines on Si(001) terraces, independent of any step edges. We discuss the potential of this Si-in-Si template as an appealing alternative to vicinal surfaces for nanoscale patterning. OWEN, James, et al.

The structural and density state calculation of B Nitrogen doped silicene nano flake
In this paper, we study the effect of single Boron/Nitrogen impurityatom on electronic properties of a silicene nano flake. Our calculations are basedon density functional theory by using Gaussian package. Here, one Si atom insilicene nano flake substitutes with a Boron/Nitrogen atom. The results show thatsubstitution of one Si atom with single Boron/Nitrogen atom increases distanceof impurity ...
متن کاملSilicon epitaxy on hydrogen-terminated Si(001) surfaces using thermal and energetic beams
Silicon epitaxy on hydrogen-terminated Si(001) surfaces has been studied using molecular dynamics simulations. Epitaxy on the dihydride-terminated Si(001 )-( 1 × 1) surface is inhibited for Si atoms at thermal energies due to strain hindrances created by hydrogen. At greater incident Si atom energies (2-10 eV), epitaxy proceeds primarily through "subplantation", i.e. subsurface implantation of ...
متن کاملSodium-doped dimer rows on Si„001..
The stability and electronic structure of a nanowire are studied by first-principles calculations. The wire consists of a single depassivated silicon dimer row on the hydrogen passivated Si~001! 231 surface. We predict that sodium atoms evaporated onto this surface stick preferentially at the depassivated row and partially fill the empty one-dimensional states of this row. This leads to a thin ...
متن کاملSi/Ge intermixing during Ge Stranski–Krastanov growth
The Stranski-Krastanov growth of Ge islands on Si(001) has been widely studied. The morphology changes of Ge islands during growth, from nucleation to hut/island formation and growth, followed by hut-to-dome island transformation and dislocation nucleation of domes, have been well described, even at the atomic scale, using techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy and transmission electr...

We present an in-depth analysis of the atomic and electronic structure of the quasi-one-dimensional 1D surface reconstruction of Ga on Si 112 based on scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy STM and STS , Rutherford-backscattering spectrometry RBS , and density functional theory DFT calculations. A new structural model of the Si 112 6 1-Ga surface is inferred. It consists of Ga zigzag ch...
