Abstract

This paper describes the design and construction of a dedicated UHV diffraction camera with an energy filter for convergent beam reflection electron diffraction (CB-RHEED). The advantages of this system for studying surface structures are demonstrated through applications to silicon (111) and (001) reconstructed surfaces. CB-RHEED patterns of the Si(001)-2×1 reconstruction clearly show a mirror symmetry at room temperature, which is not present in dynamical calculations with the buckled dimer model.
