Abstract

Based on a review of the current literature, a surface phase diagram is proposed for the submonolayer Au on Si(111) system. Kinetic considerations are reviewed and key surface phase diagram features such as the Θ < 0.4 ML metastable Si(111)-(√3 × √3)R30-Au structure and the high temperature Si(111)-(√3 × √3)R30 -Au to Si(111)-1 × 1)Au second order phase transition are discussed. Experiments to verify certain portions of the phase diagram are proposed.
