For example Pb/Si(111) can form mostly 5, 7 or 9 ML islands depending on the coverage, deposition temperature and annealing processes. Energy difference in electronic states caused by quantum confinement and charge transfer has been singlely proposed to expalin this magical phenomena. We will investigate kinetics of islands formation and their strain during growth and annealing at various conditions. Especially, Pb/Si is an attractive system because a clean Si surface can be regenerated repeatedly without changing the sample. equipment+required: experiment: Kinetics of uniform-height metal-islands fromation hazards: Suppply of liquid nitrogen is required. name: Hawoong Hong new+request: on nonmembers: station: 33ID-E unacceptable+dates: 5/11-5/21 #QUERY_STRING: #REMOTE_HOST: hong2.uni.aps.anl.gov #REMOTE_ADDR: 164.54.216.28 #CONTENT_LENGTH: 960 #HTTP_REFERER: http://www.uni.aps.anl.gov/unireq.htm #HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.61 [en] (WinNT; I)
