摘要:
In situ reflection electron microscopy observations of an inner cylindrical surface prepared mechanically from a (110) silicon wafer reveal, after annealing at 1050 degrees C, flat facets: {111}, {113}, {110} and a curved ''facet'' in the [001] direction. Assuming local equilibrium of vicinals nearby these orientations, investigations of the junctions between vicinals and facets are carried out. All junctions seem to be smooth except for the {113} facets. These results illustrate the usefulness of this technique to investigate, accurately, the surface free energy anisotropy of the equilibrium shape crystal of silicon.
