Abstract
The atomically flat hydrogenated (111) silicon surface has been methylated by anodization in a Grignard reagent and the surface obtained characterized by infrared spectroscopy. 100% substitution of the hydrogen atoms by methy l groups is observed. The resulting surface exhibits preserved ordering and superior chemical stability. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res erved.
