摘要: Abstract Synergistic experimental and theoretical studies of low coverage adsorption geometries rare earth adatoms on Si(0 0 1) were performed. Density functional calculations showed charge transfer from to explained observed bias dependence in scanning tunneling microscopy images. Comparison STM simulations with empty states data revealed a direct correlation between surface reconstructions; the (4 × 8) reconstruction is precursor (2 × 4) reconstruction. Charge adatom substrate was also confirmed by Kelvin probe force microscopy; contact potential difference measurements Dy/Si(0 0 1) reveal 0.28 eV higher than that (2 × 1) reconstructed Si.
