Anomalous intralayer growth of epitaxial Si on Ag(111)

Abstract The epitaxial growth of silicene has been the subject of many investigations, controversies and non-classical results. In particular, the initially promising deposition of Si on a metallic substrate such as Ag(111) has revealed unexpected growth modes where Si is inserted at the beginning o...
