Abstract

We have investigated the feature of reflection high-energy positron diffraction (RHEPD) pattern from a Si(1 1 1)-(7 × 7) surface. The RHEPD pattern observed in the total reflection condition is quite different from the conventional reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) pattern. This fact is attributed to the different penetration depths of positrons and electrons. We show that the intensity distribution of RHEPD pattern is reproduced considering the dimer-adatom-stacking fault (DAS) model with optimized atomic positions and scattering potentials of adatoms and rest atoms.
