A Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Study of Hydrogen Adsorption on Si(112)

Abstract

The adsorption of atomic hydrogen on Si(112) has been investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. The clean (112) surface is reconstructed into quasiperiodic nanofacts [each composed of a (111) and (337) terrace], and we find that atomic hydrogen does not remove this nanofacet structure at room temperature or 430 deg. C. This result demonstrates the surprising stability of the facet reconstruction.
