Measuring the reactivity of a silicon-terminated probe

It is generally accepted that the exposed surfaces of silicon crystals are highly reactive due to the dangling bonds which protrude into the vacuum. However, surface reconstruction can not only modify the reactivity of bulk silicon crystals, but plays a key role in determining the properties of sili...
