DIFFUSE LEED INTENSITIES OF DISORDERED CRYSTAL SURFACES III. LEED investigation of the disordered (110) surface of gold
نویسندگان
چکیده
The LEED pattern of clean (101) surfaces of Au show a characteristic (1 X 2) superstructure. The diffuseness of reflections in the reciprocal [OlO] direction is caused by onedimensional disorder of chains, strictly ordered into spatial [lo]] direction. There is a transition from this disordered superstructure to the normal (1 X 1) structure at 420 r 15°C. The angular profiles of the (04) and (01) beam are measured at various temperatures and with constant energy and angles of incidence of the primary beam. The beam profiles are deconvoluted approximately with the instrument response function.

DIFFUSE LEED INTENSITIES OF DISORDERED CRYSTAL SURFACES I. Correlations between statistics and multiple diffraction
It is shown that the diffraction of slow electrons from disordered crystal surfaces is correlated with the problem of thermodynamical statistics. The correlation functions are completely determined by the self-energies and interaction energies of neighboring complexes. These quantities solve the problem of a-priori probabilities and the cooperative phenomenon of correlation functions of these c...

The diffraction of low energy electrons from disordered overlayers adsorbed on ordered substrates is treated theoretically by an extension of Beeby’s multiple scattering method. A lattice gas model is assumed for the disordered adsorbate layer. Multiple scattering within a certain area around each atom each atom of the overlayer and within the ordered substrate is treated self-consistently, the...
متن کاملIn situ scanning tunneling microscopy study of Ca-modified rutile TiO2(110) in bulk water
Despite the rising technological interest in the use of calcium-modified TiO2 surfaces in biomedical implants, the Ca/TiO2 interface has not been studied in an aqueous environment. This investigation is the first report on the use of in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study calcium-modified rutile TiO2(110) surfaces immersed in high purity water. The TiO2 surface was prepared under ...
متن کاملCollective excitations of thin films of disordered potassium adsorbed on Ag(110)
Collective electronic excitations of disordered potassium adsorbed on Ag(110) have been studied by energy loss spectroscopy–low-energy electron diffraction (ELS–LEED) for overlayer thicknesses varying from 0.3 to 2.3 monolayers. We find that, in the long-wavelength limit, the argon surface plasmon energy shifts upwards with increasing potassium coverage, contrary to the expectation of classical...
متن کاملA 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...
