Our high resolution STM images show that long range ordering of rectangular cells are the building blocks of this reconstruction. We identify Si-Si ad-dimers and determine that three pairs of ad-dimers constitute each rectangular cell. The ad-dimer direction is parallel to the longer side of these rectangular cells. We propose a new dimer model to explain this reconstruction. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd. | Source Title: | Journal of Physics Condensed Matter | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/97861 | ISSN: | 09538984 | DOI: | 10.1088/0953-8984/20/39/395003 |
