Abstract

Interface structures between Si(111) and thick noble metal overlayers are studied by grazing-angle-incidence x-ray diffraction and crystal truncation rods. The 7×7 reconstruction is only preserved under a Ag film deposited at room temperature. This capped 7×7 structure changed to a 1×1 structure upon annealing over 250°C. A thick overlayer of room temperature deposited Au film destroyed the 7×7 reconstruction and changed the interface structure to 1×1. Our results are compared to a thick Cu/Si(111) interface structure1.
