| The STM image of a large area (65 nm×65 nm) consisting of a sheet of silicene on Ag (111) crossing two substrate steps. (b) The line profile as indicated by the black line in panel (a) shows that the island is of one atom-thick. (c) The high-resolution STM image (10 nm×10 nm) of the silicene surface taken at tip bias 1.0 V. The honeycomb structure is clearly observed. (d) The line profile as indicated by the black line in panel (c) showing both the lateral and vertical corrugations of the structure observed by STM (adapted from Ref. [ 15 ]). |
