Abstract

The kinematical approximation is valid for High-Energy Transmission Electron Diffraction from monolayers in planview. We use this fact to study quantitatively the attack of Si (111) 7×7 by 02. Oxygen is found to bind in the bridging position of the adatom backbonds and render the structure very stable during subsequent 02 exposure. Electron-beam exposure during dosing additionally creates rapid disordering which is presumed to represent SiOx formation.
