The Au-induced changes in the surface morphology of a Si(111) sample miscut 8° towards [112¯] have been measured using room temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and low energy electron diffraction. Au coverages of less than 0.06ML up to 0.43ML have been investigated. In all cases Au adsorption produces dramatic changes in surface morphology. The Au-induced surface exhibits nanofacets with orientations...
