Abstract

The preparation conditions and atomic structure of regular step systems on clean Si(hhm) surfaces are studied. Regular single- and triple-step structures with different periodicities have been fabricated in ultrahigh vacuum using various heat treatment procedures. The atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy data demonstrate several stable triple-step configurations on vicinal Si(hhm) surfaces.
