Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of the present study is the comparison of the structure and band gap between similar epitaxial crystalline silicon oxide monolayers formed on SiC and Mo. First, their surfaces were observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), but it was found that many nano-sized particles of SiO2 cover the silicon oxide monolayers entirely both the surfaces. We failed to remove the nano-particles from the Mo surface. However, the nano-particles formed on the SiC surface can be removed by heating the substrate at an adequate temperature. Clear atomic images of the silicon oxide monolayer can be observed on the SiC surface, and they support the previously proposed structure. The band gap of the silicon oxide monolayer could be determined by measuring point tunneling spectroscopy to be 5.5±0.5 eV, which is much smaller than that of bulk SiO2, 8.9 eV.
