Y. Enta et al., ORIGIN OF SURFACE-STATE PHOTOEMISSION INTENSITY OSCILLATION DURING SIEPITAXIAL-GROWTH ON A SI(100) SURFACE, Surface science, 313(1-2), 1994, pp. 120000797-120000800
We performed ''in-situ'' ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS)
measurements during both solid-source and gas-source molecular-beam ho
moepitaxial growths on Si(100) surfaces. We found that the photoelectr
on intensity associated with surface states periodically oscillates du
ring Si epitaxial growth. We demonstrate that the UPS intensity oscill
ation is associated with the alternation between the 2 x 1 and the 1 x
2 surface reconstructions on the Si(100) surface, which resulted from
Si layer-by-layer growth.
