摘要：
We have examined the growth and evolution of Ge and GeSi islands on Si(001) using a UHV transmission electron microscope and a low energy electron microscope, both with in situ growth capabilities. Small Ge islands are known to be pyramidal in shape while larger islands are dome shaped. We find that the transition from pyramids to domes occurs through a series of asymmetric transition states. Cooling below the growth temperature transforms these transition shapes to domes. We explain these results with an anomalous coarsening model for island growth.
