Abstract. The reconstruction process of the Si(111) (3)1/2×(3)1/2 R30°-Ag surface is studied by using a scanning tunnelling microscope at 78 K. By applying a strong interaction between the tip and the surface, a tip-induced reconstruction corresponding to the mergence of two Si(111) (3)1/2×(3)1/2 R30°-Ag domains is observed. Based on the inequivalent trimers (IET) model, this reconstruction process is attributed to a transition between the clockwise and counterclockwise IET domains. With this transition, the honeycomb-chained-trimer Si(111) (3)1/2×(3)1/2 R30°-Ag anti-phase boundary disappears and changes to the IET structure.
