Single donors in silicon for atomic scale devices

This thesis describes a detailed characterization of the atomic scale properties of individual donor atoms in silicon. A cross sectional sample preparation technique was developed, allowing us to study cleaved silicon surfaces using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). The Si(111)-2x1 surface is ch...
