  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A novel strategy for the spontaneous formation of spatially ordered nanoclusters and nanowires by taking advantage of templates is reported. With this method, a large‐scale perfectly ordered identical‐size indium nanocluster array and ordered indium nanowire array are obtained on Si(111)‐(7 × 7) and Si(001)‐2 × <jats:italic>n</jats:italic>, respectively. It can be applied also to other metals such as Ga, Al, Ag and Mn. The atomic structures of the indium nanoclusters and nanowires are determined by <jats:italic>in situ</jats:italic> scanning tunnelling microscopy analysis, combined with first‐principles theoretical calculations. The formation mechanism is discussed based on the results. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</jats:p>
