Deposition of thallium (Tl) onto the Au/Si(111)5 x 2 reconstruction followed by annealing results in the formation of a surface structure with 4 x 2 periodicity. The immiscibility of Au and Tl leads to the migration of Tl atoms over the Si chains. Thallium donates electrons to the surface, converting the metallic surface into an insulating state and altering the inter-chain distance within the array of Au atomic wires.
Thallium (Tl) deposition onto the Au/Si(111)5 x 2 reconstruction followed by annealing at about 300 degrees C has been found to result in the formation of the surface structure having 4 x 2 periodicity. Similar to the most reconstructions in the (Au, Tl)/Si(111) system, Au and Tl do not intermix uniformly. While Au chains preserve their inner structure, Tl atoms being highly mobile at room temperature continuously migrate over the Si chains. Thallium donates electrons into the surface, that results in the two consequences: (i) filling the originally partially filled surface-state band, thus converting the metallic surface into an insulating state; (ii) transforming Si chains, which separate Au atomic rows, from the honeycomb-like to the zigzag according to the electron counting rule. The latter alters the inter-chain distance within the array of Au atomic wires. Au and/or Si chains contain point defects, which are masqueraded by the mobile Tl atoms producing peculiar wavySTM images.
