摘要
Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we have observed a random orientation of the two possible inter-dimer buckling directions without any intercell correlation on a vacancy-free 3C-SiC(001)-(3 x 2) surface. The very small surface state dispersions observed by photoemission support the picture of essentially non-interacting (3 x 2) cells. The perfect cellular disorder, with no intercell correlation, originates from the electron localization that can be inferred from the weak surface state dispersions. Our experimental findings indicate a zero dimensionality of this system. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
