Ordered monolayer structures of boron in Si(111) and Si(100)

We have prepared metastable, ordered monolayer structures of boron on Si(100) and Si(111) by silicon deposition atop unique surface reconstructions. These superlattice structures suggest possibilities for monolayer doping and ordered alloy structures with new electronic properties. In this paper we summarize our recent results in forming ordered structures and the electrical properties of the preserved layers.
