Symmetric arsenic dimers on the Si(100) surface

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Deposition of arsenic on Si(100) results in a well-ordered, highly passivated, and stable surface. From a comparison between angle-resolved photoemission data and ab initio pseudopotential calculations we conclude that the observed 2 x 1 reconstruction is caused by the formation of symmetric As-As dimers on the surface. The calculated surface band dispersion for this model is in excellent agreement with experiment.
