STM manipulation of individual chlorine atoms on the chlorinated Si(100) surface

This project is aimed at creating and studying local structures on the Si(100)-2x1-Cl surface. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) will be used as the main tool for manipulating local structures and studying them. The chlorinated silicon surface is considered as a prototype of the interaction of halogens with the surface of semiconductors, therefore, new knowledge about the structures on this surface determines the fundamental significance of the project. The possibility of applying the obtained results to solve the problem of arranging impurities with atomic precision determines the applied significance of the project.
