Rep. of Germar(v Received 14 July 1986; accepted for publication 15 September 1986 By non-uniform heating of an initially fiat and clean Si(111) sample we have prepared a stepped Si surface with terraces of a width of less than the size of the Si(111)7 x 7 unit cell, An STM topographical image of the terraces shows the development of a ~3 x f3-R30 ° reconstruction, which can be explained by saturating dangling-bonds of the ideal Si(111) surface by Si adatoms.

USA Received 15 July 1986; accepted for publication 30 July 1986 The atomic origins of the intrinsic surface states of the Si(111)-(7 × 7) and Si(001) surfaces have been identified using the recently developed method of current imaging tunneling spectroscopy (CITS). On Si(111)-(7×7) three filled and two empty surface states are found and directly identified with atomic features of the dimer-adatom-stacking fault model. On Si(001) one filled and one empty state are observed and identified with atomic features of a dimer model. The STM images of Si(001) are shown to be dominated by the surface electronic structure rather than geometric structure.
