Abstract

Scanning photoelectron spectromicroscopy experiments on the edge of patterned Si overlayers on GaSe revealed the presence of an inhomogeneous reaction with a metallic-like Ga phase separation. The Si-Se chemically shifted components show lateral variations and a thickness-related SiSe2/SiSex (x = 0.5, 1, and 1.5) ratio on a micrometer scale. The dependence of the peak intensities on the overlayer thickness suggests an initial layer-by-layer coverage until approximate to 2 Angstrom, followed by a clustering growth mode.

Seismic intensity scales

Seismic intensity scales categorize the intensity or severity of ground shaking (quaking) at a given location, such as resulting from an earthquake. They are distinguished from seismic magnitude scales, which measure the magnitude or overall strength of an earthquake, which may, or perhaps may not, cause perceptible shaking. Intensity scales are based on the observed effects of the shaking, such as the degree to which people or animals were alarmed, and the extent and severity of damage to different kinds of structures or natural features.

Modified Mercalli intensity scale

The modified Mercalli intensity scale (MM, MMI, or MCS), developed from Giuseppe Mercalli's Mercalli intensity scale of 1902, is a seismic intensity scale used for measuring the intensity of shaking produced by an earthquake. It measures the effects of an earthquake at a given location, distinguished from the earthquake's inherent force or strength as measured by seismic magnitude scales (such as the "" magnitude usually reported for an earthquake).

Peak ground acceleration

Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is equal to the maximum ground acceleration that occurred during earthquake shaking at a location. PGA is equal to the amplitude of the largest absolute acceleration recorded on an accelerogram at a site during a particular earthquake. Earthquake shaking generally occurs in all three directions. Therefore, PGA is often split into the horizontal and vertical components. Horizontal PGAs are generally larger than those in the vertical direction but this is not always true, especially close to large earthquakes.
