Surface extended x-ray-absorption fine structure (SEXAFS) has been combined with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to determine both the local and long-range bonding properties of the Si(001)2{times}1-Sb interface. Sb {ital L}{sub 3} edge SEXAFS shows that Sb dimers occupy a modified bridge site on the Si(001) surface with a Sb-Sb near-neighbor distance of 2.88{plus minus}0.03 A. Each Sb atom of the dimer is bonded to two Si atoms with a Sb-Si bond length of 2.63{plus minus}0.04 A. STM resolves the dimer structure and provides the long-range periodicity of the surface. Low-energy-electron diffraction of vicinal Si(001) shows that the Sb dimer chains run perpendicular to the original Si dimer chains.
