摘要：
Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we reveal the atomic structure of step bunches on vicinal Si(111) misoriented towards [112BAR] by 4-degrees. Clusters of steps, consisting of more than ten atomic layers, are observed to form (331) facets, where a periodic structure is found. Each bump of the structure is larger than that of an adatom of Si(111)7 x 7, showing 6 x 3 reconstruction. We propose a model of 6 x 3 describing this corrugation as a trimer of adatoms to discuss the reduced dangling bonds and the asymmetric structure.
