Abstract
silicon intercalation of the BlueP-Au alloy on Au(111). The intercalation process is characterized at the atomic scale by low-temperature scanning probe microscopy and further corroborated by synchrotron radiation-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. The evolution of the band structures from the BlueP-Au alloy into Si-intercalated BlueP are clearly revealed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and further verified by density functional theory calculations.
