Abstract
Au-induced reconstructions occurring on a vicinal Si(111) surface have been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Topographs at higher resolution than those previously published clearly reveal detailed structure in the 5 × 2 unit cells, alternate rows of which are sometimes shifted by one lattice spacing in the [110] direction, leading to a pseudo-5 × 1 low energy electron diffraction pattern. The observed atomic arrangement is highly anisotropic perpendicular to the row structure and tight constraints can now be placed on the possible models for the system.
