An atom-scale quantum wire array at the Au adsorbed Si(111) surface is studied by electron energy loss spectroscopy. Clear one-dimensional metallicity is verified by the observation of low-energy plasmonic excitation which exhibits a strong anisotropic dispersion. Our theoretical analysis using a quantum-mechanical nonlocal response theory shows that the plasmons are most probably supported in conductive channels made of Si honeycomb wires rather than those made of Au-Si complex wires.
利用电子能量损失谱对金吸附的硅(111)表面的原子尺度量子线阵列进行了研究。通过观察呈现出强烈各向异性色散的低能等离子体激发,证实了清晰的一维金属性。我们使用量子力学非局部响应理论进行的理论分析表明,等离子体最有可能存在于由硅蜂窝状线构成的导电通道中,而不是由金 - 硅复合线构成的通道中。
