Abstract
Scanning tunneling microscopy is used to investigate aspects of the initial stages of molecular-beam epitaxy of Si on Si(001). A self-diffusion coefficient is extracted. Anisotropic island shapes in the growth are attributed to an anisotropic lateral accommodation coefficient. Growth on vicinal surfaces shows that the barrier for atoms to cross a step cannot be much different from the barrier for migration on the terrace itself.
