Surface reconstruction of hexagonal Y-dopedHoMnO3andLuMnO3studied using low-energy electron diffraction

A Low Energy Electron Diffraction Study of Surface Structures

From the low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) analysis of the (110) surface of palladium we have determined an oscillatory relaxation with respect to the bulk interlayer spacing in the two topmost layers. We used R-factors for quantitative comparison of theoretical I-V curves with the experimental data. The oscillatory relaxation of the surface Pd(110) d12 = (1.33 ± 0.05) Å, d23 = (1.44 ± 0.0...

Theory of Low-Energy Electron Diffraction

A method for calculating the intensities of diffracted waves in low energy electron diffraction by crystals is proposed. The elastic multiple scattering is fully taken into account. The cellular method of KOHN and ROSTOKER in the band theory of metals is applied to the integral equation of the scattering by two dimensional lattices, particularly by monatomic layers. The solution is expanded in ...

Fivefold surface of quasicrystalline AlPdMn: Structure determination using low-energy-electron diffraction

The atomic structure of the fivefold symmetric quasicrystal surface of icosahedral AlPdMn has been investigated by means of a dynamical low-energy-electron diffraction (LEED) analysis. Approximations were developed to make the structure of an aperiodic, quasicrystalline surface region accessible to LEED theory. A mix of several closely similar, relaxed, bulklike lattice terminations is favored,...
