Organic functionalization of non-oxidized silicon surfaces, while allowing for robust chemical
passivation of the inorganic substrate, is intended and expected to broaden the chemical …

Over the last decade there has been increasing awareness of the opportunities presented
by the convergence of surface science and organic chemistry for the development of …

Indirect evidence is presented that free‐standing Si quantum wires can be fabricated without
the use of epitaxial deposition or lithography. The novel approach uses electrochemical and …

Semiconductor Surfaces and Interfaces deals with structural and electronic properties of
semiconductor surfaces and interfaces. The first part introduces the general aspects of …

Providing both an introduction and an up-to-date survey of the entire field, this text captivates
the reader with its clear style and inspiring, yet solid presentation. The significantly …

Aqueous HF etching of silicon surfaces results in the removal of the surface oxide and
leaves behind silicon surfaces terminated by atomic hydrogen. The effect of varying the …

The chemical modification of hydrogen-passivated n-Si (111) surfaces by a scanning
tunneling microscope (STM) operating in air is reported. The modified surface regions have …

The isotherm thickness and hydrogen-bonding interactions of water layers adsorbed on
hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces were quantified and compared. The hydrophilic and …

Ab initio molecular-orbital theory is used to unravel the mechanism of HF etching leading to
hydrogen-passivated silicon surfaces as observed experimentally. Total-energy calculations …

Vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy has been used to investigate the hydrogen-
terminated Si (111) surfaces obtained upon dissolution of the native oxide in HF and NH, F …
