摘要
The surface structure of Si(lll) at high temperatures (950-1380 degreesC) has been studied with reflection high-energy electron diffraction. We have found three different surface structures: (I) A relaxed bull;like structure with adatoms of 0.25 monolayer (ML) is formed (950-1210 degreesC); (2) there is a new phase where the adatom coverage decreases to 0.20 hit (1250-1270 degreesC); (3) the surface melting occurs over 1290 degreesC. The crystalline structure below the melting layer can be explained by the vacancy model missing all adatoms and 0.45 ML of atoms in the first-double layer.
