\i3)R30° determined by LEED: stable and metastable adsorption sites

چکیده
It is found that the adsorption of potassium on Al(111) at 90 K and at 300 K both result in a C&f? X &)R30” structure. Through a detailed LEED analysis it is revealed that at 300 K the adatoms occupy substitutional sites and at 90 K the adatoms occupy on-top sites; both geometries have hitherto been considered as very unusual. The relationship between bond length and coordination is discussed with respect to the present results, and with respect to other quantitative studies of alkali-metal/metal adsorption systems.

Coverage-dependent adsorption sites in the K/Ru(OOOl} system: a low-energy electron-distraction analysis
The two ordered phases p(2 X 2) at a coverage 6’ = 0.25 and ifi X fi)R30” at 6 = 0.33 of potassium adsorbed on Ru(O~l) were analyzed by use of low-energy electron-diffraction (LEED). In the (A x fiJR30” phase, the K atoms occupy threefold hcp sites, while in the p(2 x 2) phase the fee site is favoured. In both phases, the K hard-sphere radii are nearly the same and close to the covalent Pauling...
متن کاملPhotoemission Study of the Pb/Ni(111) Surface Phases
Abstract. Pb/Ni(111) surface phases were investigated by synchrotron radiation photoemission, low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and angular resolved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (ARUPS). For room temperature evaporation, two surface ordered layers, (3x3) and (4x4), were observed. The Pb 5d and Pb 4f core levels as well as valence band spectra indicated a weak chemical interaction...
متن کاملSurface structure of Pd(111) with less than half a monolayer of Zn.
We have characterized the structural properties of submonolayer amounts of Zn on Pd(111) using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spot-profile analysis low energy electron diffraction (SPA-LEED). Following room temperature deposition of ≈0.06 monolayers (ML) Zn onto Pd(111), we observe the substitution of Zn for Pd in the surface layer. At ≈0.20 ML of deposited Zn, STM reveals a locally or...
متن کاملExperimental structure determination of the chemisorbed overlayers of chlorine and iodine on Au{111}.
We have performed an experimental structure determination of the ordered p(sqrt[3] x sqrt[3])R30 degrees structures of chlorine and iodine on Au{111} using low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). Despite great similarities in the structure of the underlying substrate, which shows only minor deviations from the bulk positions in both cases, chlorine and iodine are found to adsorb in different ad...
متن کاملStructural investigations on Xe / Pd ( 111 ) with spin - polarized LEED
(6 x ~}R30°-Xe/Pd(lil) and the dilute phase of Xe/Pd(li I) were investigated with spin-polarized low-energy electron diffraction (SPLEED). In the experiment spin-polarized electrons from a GaAs source were scattered and the spin-dependent intensities were measured. Comparative calculations were carried out by means of a relativistic LEED program. The structure determination of (6 x fi)R30”-Xe/P...
