The quest to build a quantum computer has been inspired by the recognition of the
formidable computational power such a device could offer. In particular silicon-based …

Scanning-tunneling-microscopy measurements of submonolayer growth of Si on Si (001)
show anisotropic island shapes. From coarsening experiments it is determined that these …

Scanning-tunneling-microscopy images of vicinal Si (001) with an equilibrium distribution of
steps and kinks have been analyzed to determine the distribution of kink separations and …

The surface diffusion coefficient of Si atoms on a Si (001) surface is quantitatively
determined using scanning tunneling microscopy. The method rests on counting the number …

The integration of III–V semiconductors with Si has been pursued for more than 25 years
since it is strongly desired in various high-efficiency applications ranging from …

Abstract 2D sheets of graphene‐like silicon, namely planar silicene, are synthesized. This
new silicon allotrope is prepared on Au (111) thin films grown on a Si (111) substrate in the …
