摘要：
Roughening and islanding of monolayer Ce coverage on vicinal Si(001) surface has been studied using scanning tunneling microscope (STM). For a 3.9 degrees miscut surface, planar buckled-dimer surface is a metastable state limited by a barrier, which can be overcome by a 680 degrees C annealing. After the annealing, the metastable flat surface has been changed to a rough surface of small hills because of step-bunching, and on top of each hill, a 3 dimensional (3D) nanoscale island was observed. The mechanism of this roughening and islanding process have been discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
