摘要
The facet surface of a Ge nanocrystal prepared on Si(111) was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) using a metal-coated carbon nanotube tip. Because of the small radius and high aspect ratio of the tip, we observed a steep facet surface in detail. It was revealed that the surface formed a Ge(105) 1x2 structure. STS spectra obtained on the facet surface showed density of states (DOS) originating from the surface and bulk states, which shifted depending on the height. First-principles calculation revealed that the shift arose from the intermixing of Si with Ge. (C) 2009 The Japan Society of Applied Physics DOI: 10.1143/APEX.2.035002
