We report on an experimental investigation of benzene adsorption on single-domain Si(001)-(2 × 1) by means of reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy. This optical technique is sensitive to the number of occupied dimers and permit us to demonstrate that benzene molecules are bound to slightly less than one dimer out of two.
