摘要
We studied metastable reconstructions on quenched Si(lll) surfaces by using high-temperature STM. It was found that the c2 x 8 is most stable in metastable reconstructions of 2 x 2, c2 x 4, c2 x 8 and root 3 x root 3 on the quenched Si(111) surface. The reversible phase transition between the c2 x 8 and 1 x 1 structures at about 230 degrees C was found on the surface, which is similar to that between the c2 x 8 and 1 x 1 structures on Ge(111) surfaces around 300 degrees C.
