LEEM Observations of Surface Reactions on Silicon
ChEMS Seminar
Featuring Peter Bennett, Ph.D.
Associate Director, Graduate Studies
Professor,
Location: Engineering Lecture Hall 110
Abstract:
Low Energy Electron Microscopy (LEEM) is a powerful tool for the study of reactions on surfaces, since it can provide video-rate images with 10nm resolution at high temperature. Bennett will discuss several examples of metal-silicon reactions, including step-flow during island formation, nanowire growth and solution and thermo-migration of liquid alloy droplets. Quantitative analysis of these kinetic processes allows extraction of fundamental parameters such as adatom diffusion and island formation energies.
