abstract = {The tensile-strained Si(111) layers grown on top of Ge(111)
substrates are studied by combining scanning tunneling
microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, and
first-principles calculations. It is shown that the layers
exhibit c(2×4) domains, which are separated by domain walls
along ⟨¯110⟩ directions. A model structure for the
c(2×4) domains is proposed, which shows low formation
energy and good agreement with the experimental data. The
results of our calculations suggest that Ge atoms are likely
to replace Si atoms with dangling bonds on the surface
(rest-atoms and adatoms), thus significantly lowering the
surface energy and inducing the formation of domain walls.
The experiments and calculations demonstrate that when
surface strain changes from compressive to tensile, the
(111) reconstruction converts from dimer-adatom-stacking
fault-based to adatom-based structures.},
