Structural and electronic properties of Au induced nanowires on Ge(001) — •Tijs Mocking, Daan Kockmann, Arie van Houselt, Bene Poelsema, and Harold Zandvliet — MESA+ instute for Nanotechnology and University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands

The structural and electronic properties of Au induced self-organized nanowires on Ge(001), prepared by different procedures, are investigated with scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy at room temperature and 77 K [1]. The Au induced nanowires are comprised of dimers that have their bond aligned in a direction perpendicular to the nanowire. The dimers are buckled, leading to a 2x periodicity along the nanowires. Dimers located at anti-phase boundaries are dynamic and flip back and forth between two buckled configurations. The troughs between the nanowires have a depth of several atomic layers. Finally, the differential conductivities of the nanowires and the troughs are very comparable in magnitude.
