摘要：

Submonolayer coverages of Ag on Ge(111) have been studied under ultra-high vacuum using STM. Atomically resolved images of the (root 33 x root 33)R30 degrees reconstruction have been obtained. The images obtained from the 4 x4 structure are strongly dependent upon the bias voltage polarity, indicating a significant influence from electronic effects. A new model is proposed which has the reconstruction occurring within the top bi-layer of an unreconstructed Ge(111) surface. STM images of the (root 33 x root 33)R30 degrees reconstruction show a structure very similar to that obtained for Ag/Si(111), indicating that the surface is a honeycomb-chained-trimer structure. Images have also been obtained of 3 x 1 and 5 x 1 regions and possible models for these structures are proposed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
