Abstract
Tin (Sn) adsorption on Si(1Â 0Â 0) surface has been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and co-axial impact collision ion scattering spectroscopy (CAICISS). The c(8Ã4) and (5Ã1) phases were analyzed to reveal their atomic structure. It has been confirmed that the c(8Ã4) structure consists of buckled Sn dimers. The (5Ã1) structure has been found to be partially irregular along (5Ã1) rows and to consist of double Sn layer. The Sn atoms in the first layer are undimerised while those in second layer form asymmetric dimers.
