- 1988, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Research Laboratory of Electronics, RLE Progress Report - Issue 131, page 83:
- It is interesting that in cases where the surface does not have the geometry and periodicity of the bulk-terminated plane, the interaction of hydrogen with surface atoms is strong enough to unreconstruct the complicated reconstruction patterns.
- 1997, Carlotta Marie Paulsen-Boaz, The Carrier-mediated Photodesorption Reaction on Chlorinated Silicon Surfaces:
- The argument for describing these surfaces as bulk terminated, as chlorine adsorption is known to unreconstruct silicon surfaces, was presented in chapter 1.
- 2002, Hari Singh Nalwa, Handbook of Thin Film Materials:
- Hydrogen adsorption can unreconstruct surfaces and passivate surface dangling bonds, and thus can change the surface properties dramatically.
