Abstract

We apply scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) to study the reaction of NH3 with Si(111)-(7×7), and the epitaxial growth of CaF2 on Si(11). By a combination of topographs and atom-resolved spectra we can follow the spatial distribution of the reaction and changes in electronic structure with atomic resolution. We find that there are strong site-selectivities for the NH3 reaction on the 7×7 surface. We also observe the initial stages of the CaF2 deposition and even are able to image insulating multi-layer CaF2 films.
