摘要
We present C 1s soft X-ray photoemission data for c(4 x 4) C-Si(100) surfaces observed in low-energy electron diffraction. These surfaces are prepared by either evaporation from graphite or ethylene exposure to Si(100) at 823-923 K. The c(4 x 4) structure is due to a "subsurface" C species, with a C 1s energy varying from about -283.1 to -282.7 eV and attaining the latter value in well-annealed samples. From the observed intensities and total coverage estimates, we qualitatively discuss the possibilities for a C-enriched near-surface layer as the origin of the reconstruction.
