Fig. 1: Formation of P chains from the early stage of growth.

From: Flat epitaxial quasi-1D phosphorene chains

Fig. 1

a 3D view of the STM topographic image of P chains on the Ag(111) surface, showing atomically flat terraces and P chains (46 × 46 nm2, U = −800 mV, I = 1.50 nA). b High-resolution STM image of P chains on the Ag(111) (7 × 7 nm2, U = −80 mV, I = 1.50 nA). c Line profile measured along white line in b shows that the P chains have a typical width of 0.75 ± 0.01 nm and a height of 0.12 nm.
