摘要
Using the technique of photoelectron diffraction in the scanned energy mode we show that the Si dimer separation on the Si{100} surface following the adsorption of ethene (ethylene) is 2.36(+/- 0.21) angstrom. This value is only very slightly larger than on the clean surface and shows that the dimer remains intact, thus providing a clear quantitative experimental resolution of a long controversy in the literature. The C-C and C-Si separations are 1.62 +/- 0.08 angstrom and 1.90 +/- 0.01 angstrom, respectively, the former indicating a bond order of less than one.
