Jf. Mcgilp et al., RESONANT OPTICAL 2ND-HARMONIC GENERATION FROM VICINAL SI(001)-SB, ANDITS MICROSCOPIC ORIGIN, Physica status solidi. a, Applied research, 152(1), 1995, pp. 227-235
Resonant optical second harmonic generation from vicinal Si(001) and S
i(001)-Sb in the spectral region around 3.3 eV is shown to be dominate
d by electronic states associated with a local reconstruction of;he su
rface step. The mirror plane perpendicular to the step edge, which is
present in the macroscopic surface, and in the bulk and terrace crysta
llographic structure, is absent in the resonant second harmonic respon
se from vicinal Si(001)1 x 1-Sb.
