We present here a scanning tunneling microscope study of the initial bonding structure and subsequent reaction mechanism ${\mathrm{C}}_{2}{\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ with Si(001) surface. Upon exposure sample at room temperature to 0.2 L (approximately 20% coverage) adsorption molecule on alternate dimer pairs is observed, leading either local $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2$ or $c(2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4)$ structure. In filled-state image, minimum observed in center reacted pairs,...

A low-noise resistive-feedback front-end electronics assembly has been developed for use with p-type point contact (PPC) Ge detectors in low background experiments. The front end was designed to have a mass and potentially radioactivity. It is fabricated on fused silica substrate, consists of JFET, feedback resistor formed from an amorphous thin film, capacitor based the stray capacitance between circuit traces. substrate provides appropriate thermal impedance allow FET operate at optimal...
Semiconductor radiation detectors are routinely used for the detection, imaging, and spectroscopy of gamma-ray, x-ray, charged particles. In basic form, a detector is comprised semiconductor crystal with two or more electrodes formed on its surfaces. Besides allowing application bias voltage, one also serve as readout electrode. Charge carriers drifting across induce charge signal electrode, which can then be measured by charge-sensitive amplifier connected to Although in general itself,...
We propose a design for high-resolution single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system in vivo /sup 125/I imaging small animal using pixellated lithium-drifted silicon [Si(Li)] detectors. The proposed detectors are expected to have high interaction probability (>90%), good energy resolution [<15% full-width at half-maximum (FWHM)], and intrinsic spatial (/spl sim/1 mm FWHM). SPECT will consist of dual head detector geometry with the distance between ranging 30-50 minimize mouse...
