摘要
We have fabricated epitaxial NiSi2 films on Si(111) under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions and conducted in situ ballistic-electron-emission-microscopy (BEEM) measurements on this coherent interface system. We demonstrate the sensitivity of BEEM to mechanisms which broaden the angular distribution of the injected electrons for transport through a Si(111) interface. Spatially localized increases in ballistic transmission rates are observed, attributable to the clastic scattering of the injected electrons by structural defects present on the surface or buried in the silicide film.
