Well-defined monohydride-terminated n-Si(111) electrodes were used to study
electrodeposition of Pb and Cu as well as electroless Au deposition on the
se surfaces. With classical electrochemical methods, in-situ STM, ex-situ A
FM, SEM and in-situ SXRD, the initial stages of metal deposition and the ep
itaxial properties of the metal deposit were investigated. (C) 2000 Elsevie
