Adsorption of Al atoms on the Si(111) 7 × 7 surface was investigated by STM at room temperature. The adsorbed Al atom displaced a Si center adatom on the surface, and the expelled Si atom diffused inside a half unit cell. The adsorbed Al atom hopped among center adatom sites with a frequency of about 0.01s −1 . (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
