DIFFUSE LEED INTENSITIES OF DISORDERED CRYSTAL SURFACES II. Multiple scattering on disordered overlayers
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 remaining contributions to the total scattering amplitude being averaged. The theory can be used in the limiting cases of random distribution and of long range order within the adsorbate layer.

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 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 (0...

C421 unit cells in the sample. If a crystal structure shows disorder, i.e. if different cells look differently, some of the scattered intensity is lost from the Bragg peaks and distributed throughout reciprocal space as diffuse scattering. The interpretation of such scattering is far from routine. Sometimes it can be done with qualitative arguments and simple simulations; sometimes it requires ...
متن کاملStructure and Binding Site of Acetate on Pd(111) Determined Using Density Functional Theory and Low Energy Electron Diffraction
Acetate adsorbs on Pd(111) as a disordered overlayer. We have used a recently developed LEED I/V technique that allows the structure of disordered molecular overlayers to be examined to determine the structure of acetate adsorbed on Pd(111). Our experimental results are compared with plane-wave Density Functional Theory calculations. The calculated and observed adsorption geometries are in exce...
متن کاملDetermination of the structure of disordered overlayers of ethylene on clean and hydrogen-covered Pdð111Þ by low-energy electron diffraction
The surface structure of the disordered overlayer formed by ethylene adsorption on Pdð111Þ at 80 K is determined by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) from the effects of chemisorbed molecules on the intensity versus beam energy ðI=EÞ variation of the substrate ð1 1Þ Bragg spots. It is shown that ethylene is di-r-bonded on clean Pdð111Þ, where the measured geometry is in agreement with the ...
