Abstract

We have recently developed a new, thermally stable STM, which allows the observation of surfaces at elevated temperatures, up to at least 800 K. With this instrument, we have observed the evolution of growth induced mosaic step patterns into the equilibrium step distribution at 750 K in real time. We deduce a value of 2.0 eV for the kink detachment energy. In addition, we have for the first time directly observed the migration of atom-like species on the Si(001) surface. At temperatures around 350 K, diffusion takes place exclusively along the dimer rows.
