AbstractTwo-dimensionally ordered arrays of Ge islands are realized by molecular beam epitaxy on vicinal Si(001) surfaces with regular ripples. Deposition of a 2.5 nm Si0.55Ge0.45/10 nm Si multilayer on vicinal Si(001) surfaces gives rise to the formation of regular ripples with a typical period of 100 nm, due to step-bunching. The ripples lead to the long-range line-up of the Ge islands along their direction, while the strong repulsive interaction between the dense Ge islands determines their relative arrangement on different step bunches of a ripple. The ordering pattern can be controlled by the Ge coverage as well as the direction of the ripples. The Ge islands show a narrow size distribution with the lateral size limited by the ripple periodIn contrast, when deposited directly on well-prepared biatomic-stepped vicinal Si(001) surfaces under the same growth conditions, only weak ordering of Ge islands along the step direction is achieved. No ordering of Ge islands has been observed, when a flat Si(001) surface is employed, where no obvious step-bunching occurs.The results promise efficient control on the position and size of self-assembled and selfordered Ge islands by the steps prepared on vicinal surfaces.

Baseline ripple measurements are of two general kinds, those associated with on-source mechanisms and those with off-source mechanisms (Poulton 1974; Morris 1974). We are here principally concerned with on-source baseline ripples, which occur when a strong continuum radio source is present in the beam. The ripples are particularly conspicuous (Padman 1977, 1978) with a large instrument, such as the Parkes 64-m telescope, where the ripple period is rapid. Here baseline uncertainty becomes especially severe for the detection and study of wide lines, such as the H/He complex and the formamide multiplet near 1.54 GHz. Off-source baseline ripples also occur because of other effects, but in principle they can be removed by subtracting a reference-region spectrum taken while tracking the telescope over the same hour-angle range at the same declination under stable conditions. Improvement of the off-source baseline ripple which arises from stray radiation would also be expected to result from the technique described here.
