adatom

Examples

• All

• Figures 3a and 3b show the reconstructed surface before and after adatom removal, respectively.

• There exists effectively a smooth potential trough at the top of the step, in which the adatom can move easily.

• Let us look at the two categories of adatom motion individually.

  Academic text (1993)

• The three pale features are adatoms that remained on the surface.

• The second way to study adatom motion is to make real-time observations.

  Academic text (1993)

• There are two ways to explore adatom motion with either the STM or the FIM.

• From the island density, one can determine an adatom diffusion coefficient.

  Academic text (1993)

• No real-time observations of single-adatom migration have as yet been reported.

  Academic text (1993)

• The greater the mobility at a fixed deposition rate, the more adatoms find existing edges, and the fewer islands form.

  Academic text (1993)

• The only technique that had, in fact, been able to give an atomic-resolution picture of adatom motion on surfaces was field ion microscopy.
