Si adatoms deposited on Si(100)-(2{times}1) below 200 {degree}C assume metastable binding configurations, each distinct from the dimer string topology ordinarily observed following deposition at higher temperatures. Isolated ad-dimers which nucleate predominantly on substrate dimer rows at room temperature do not constitute the precursors for dimer strings. Instead, they transform upon annealing at {approx}120 {degree}C to metastable, dimerized lines assembled end to end, parallel to the substrate`s dimer bonds.
