Abstract

Nanoscale hut clusters formed on Ge(001) surfaces by depositing one monolayer of indium and annealing at temperatures between 350 and 500 degrees C were studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. It was found that the hut clusters form regular arrays over the entire surface. The huts are aligned with the [100] directions of the bulk Ge crystal and bounded by {103} facets. A structural model is proposed in which the clusters consist of Ge atoms and the dangling bonds on the {103} facets are saturated by In atoms which thereby stabilize the structure.
