First Steps Of Silicene Growth On Ag(111)

Abstract

In this paper we report on the first steps of silicene growth on Ag(111) using scanning tunneling microscopy. We show that the topmost atomic layer is composed of both silicon and silver. The STM observations are consistent with an exchange process between the silicon and silver atoms preferentially taking place at the step edges of the Ag substrate. In addition, silicon stripes are observed as precursors of the formation of the silicene sheet.
