Under proper growth conditions, ordered and uniform Mn nanodots were fabricated on a Si(111)-7 X 7 surface without the presence of a wetting layer. The Mn nanodots deposited onto the elevated substrates were observed to occupy preferentially on the faulted half unit cells (FHUCs) of the Si(111)-7 X...
