Abstract
Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy, High Resolution Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy and High Resolution X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy have been used to study the adsorption of atomic hydrogen onto Si nanowires grown on Ag(1Â 1Â 0). We demonstrate that the hydrogen strongly interacts with the Si nanowires modifying their structural and electronic properties. Hydrogen atoms etch the Si nanowires and eventually lead to their complete removal from the Ag(1Â 1Â 0) surface.
