Infrared studies of gold nanochains on the Si(557) stepped surface — •Chung Vu Hoang, Markus Klevenz, Robert Lovrincic, Olaf Skibbe, Frank Neubrech, and Annemarie Pucci — Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik der Universität Heidelberg

Gold nanochains on Si(557) will be fabricated under ultra high vacuum conditions. The terraces of the stepped surface serve as one-dimensional diffusion channels, which leads to the formation of parallel monoatomic chains. Due to the appearance of metallic chains an anisotropic change of the conductivity of the substrate surface can be expected. The chain growth process and conductivity dependence versus gold composition will be investigated in-situ by using transmittance infrared spectroscopy (IRS) with light polarized parallel and perpendicular to the chains, respectively. IRS is a well-established method to observe conductivity changes on surfaces. The temperature dependent behaviour of gold chains will be studied as well.
