Origin of metallicity in atomic Ag wires on Si(557)

We investigated the metallicity of Ag- $\sqrt{3}$ ordered atomic wires close to one monolayer (ML) coverage, which are formed on Si(557) via self assembly. For this purpose we combined high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy with tunneling microscopy. By extending the excess Ag coverage up...
