Abstract:
The C amount and the structure of the Si(001)-c(4 x 4) surface is studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and ab initio calculations. The c(4 x 4) phase is found to contain 1/8 monolayer C (1 C atom in each primitive unit cell). From the C amount and the symmetry of high-resolution STM images, it is inferred that the C atoms substitute the fourth-layer site below the dimer row. We construct a structure model relying on ab initio energetics and STM simulations. Each C atom induces an on-site dimer vacancy and two adjacent rotated dimers on the same dimer row. The c(4 x 4) phase constitutes the subsurface Si(0.875)C(0.125) delta layer with two-dimensionally ordered C atoms.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
