These superstructures are correlated to the epitaxy between the honeycomb structure of silicon (so called silicene) and the silver substrate. In this paper, we bring new experimental results, obtained by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and by Low Energy Electron Diffraction, on the (2R3x2R3) R30 structure which is the most controversial one. A detailed analysis of these results allows us to propose a new atomic model of the silicene layer based on periodic arrangements of perfect areas of (2R3x2R3)R30 surrounded by defect areas. A generalization of this model explains the main controversies of this structure: deviation of the average direction, Moir\'e patterns, and apparent global disorder.

By using two different experimental procedures, the response of the planar interface to a sudden change in pulling velocity is examined. It is shown that the final pattern characteristics (average wavelength, level of disorder) are independent of experimental conditions even if the system reaches its steady state by different transients.

Depending on both the substrate temperature and the deposition rate, the following superstructures were observed: (4 × 4),

Specific patterns are associated to grain boundaries. A model based on free growth but with time-dependent superheating is proposed for the lateral growth of the liquid inclusions. Contrary to what is largely believed, it is shown that free melting is not the mere reversal of free crystal growth, basically because solute diffusion is much lower in the solid, which imposes a boundary layer approach.

As predicted by Chen and Davis, morphological instability of the interface is observed at inward flow-stagnation regions of the cellular convective field. Depending on the driving force of fluid flow, focus-type and honeycomb-type localized patterns form in the initial transient of solidification, that then evolves with time. In the case of solute-driven flow, the analysis of the onset of thermosolutal convection in initial transient of solidification enables a complete understanding of the dynamics and of the localization of morphological instability.

A detailed experimental study in the succinonitrile-acetone system has revealed a branch of cellular structure in which the interface pattern consists of a periodic array of coupled cells or doublets.

Gold atoms are transferred by applying to the sample negative voltage pulses of few volts in magnitude, and of some tens of microseconds in duration. The scanning tunneling microscope tip morphology and composition have been analyzed systematically by field-emission gun scanning electron microscope plus energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) microanalysis before and after its use for lithography. The deposits composition have also been analyzed by EDX. Finally, preliminary results on trials of direct bonding of microscopic contact leads are presented.

In this paper we focus on the (2 √ 3× √ 3)R30 • phase. Using a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy and LEED observations, we show that this phase corresponds to a 11 • rotation of the silicene sheet relative to the substrate orientation.
