    Abstract

    Adsorption of alkali metals (Li, K, Cs) on the Si(111) and Si(100) surfaces has been investigated by field ion-scanning tunneling microscopy (FISTM). The FISTM data suggest that alkali-metal atoms absorb quite differently between the (111) and (100) surface: almost completely ionized on the (111)7 × 7 surface, while there is small charge transfer on the (100)2 × 1 surface.
