Title: Photoelectron holographic studies of As/Si(100) with sub-angstrom resolution

Journal Article · · Physical Review B

The atomic structure of As-terminated Si(100) has been studied using the technique of derivative photoelectron holography. The resulting holographic images clearly resolve a 0.5-{angstrom} shift from the (1 x 1) geometry for each As atom as a result of dimerization. Detecting this shift requires a sub-angstrom resolution that has been difficult to achieve using photoelectron holography. The improvement in resolution can be attributed to a highly anisotropic electron-scattering factor resulting in an emission beacon that helps define the atomic images.
