Abstract
Faceting is a thermodynamic phase separation where a surface with some arbitrarymacroscopic orientation breaks up into a hill and valley structure. Vicinal Si(113) surfacesare typical systems where faceting occurs due to short-range attractive step–stepinteractions. This paper reviews our recent studies on step dynamics involved in faceting onvicinal Si(113) surfaces, by high temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and analysisbased on the continuum step model.
