Abstract

A field ion-scanning tunneling microscope has been used to study the structure of the Na-induced Si(111)(3 X 1) surface. The STM images showed that the entire Si surface was uniformly covered with a single layer of the Na(3 X 1) structure. Upon further Na deposition onto this surface a well ordered Na multilayer was formed via Stranski-Krastanov growth mode. Tunneling spectroscopy performed on the surfaces at various Na coverages revealed that the first Na layer was insulating, but the insulator-metal transition of the Na overlayer occured in the second layer.
