Hydrogen-induced metallization of the $\beta$-SiC(001) Si-rich surface

TL;DR

This paper investigates how hydrogen exposure causes the transition of the $eta$-SiC(001) Si-rich surface from a semiconductor to a metallic state, highlighting the role of hydrogen in surface metallization.

Contribution

It presents new insights into hydrogen-induced metallization mechanisms on the $eta$-SiC(001) Si-rich surface.

Findings

Hydrogen causes surface metallization of $eta$-SiC(001)

Surface electronic properties are significantly altered by hydrogen

The study provides a detailed analysis of the metallization process
