A detailed study of the polarization dependences of the second-harmonic generation process from clean Si(111)-7×7 surfaces is presented and analyzed in terms of the symmetry properties of the surface. Results from real-time, in situ measurements on disordering of the Si(111)-7×7 surface by oxidation and Ar+ ion bombardment are also reported.
