M. Shimomura et al., Photoelectron diffraction study of the Si2p surface-core-level-shift of the Si(001)(1 x 2)-Sb surface, SURF SCI, 493(1-3), 2001, pp. 23-28
Structural parameters of the Si(001)(1 x 2)-Sb surface were optimized by ph
otoelectron diffraction (PED) of Sb 4d peaks. The optimized parameters are
3.17 +/- 0.1 Angstrom for Sb-dimer bond length and 1.78 +/- 0.1 Angstrom fo
r the layer spacing between Sb and the first layer Si. The main origin of a
surface-core-level-shifted (SCLS) component in Si 2p core-level spectra is
identified by SCLS-PED to be the first layer Si atoms connected to Sb dime
rs. Another SCLS component reported previously was not observed, which indi
cates that this SCLS component is related to some defects on the (1 x 2)-Sb
surface. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
