Structural and Kinetics Study of Quantum Size Effect Pb islands grown on Si(111)

The growth of Pb film on Si(111) is an unusual metal-semiconductor system. For a certain temperature range, Pb films have been found to grow in steep-edge and flat-top islands with uniform height on Si(111). This specific film morphology has been correlated to Quantum Size Effect (QSE) that the obje...
