摘要
The formation of Si-rich surfaces on the 3C-SiC(001) crystal using Si molecular beam epitaxy has been investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. We observed a surface phase transition from the c(4 x 2) reconstruction to the (3 x 2) reconstruction by the adsorption of Si atoms. The adsorbed atoms formed one-dimensional (1D) strings, followed by narrowing the width of the adjacent strings with increasing adsorption. We find that the adsorption by narrowing of the 1D strings is in Langmuir-type adsorption. The Si adsorption saturated at the surface with (3 x 2) reconstruction having the Si coverage of 5/3 monolayer. No Si island was observed on the saturated (3 x 2) surface. We discuss the Si adsorption mechanism in terms of the structural phase transition. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
