Alkali metal (Li, K) induced reconstructions of the W(001) surface
نویسنده
چکیده
The adsorption of Li and K atoms on the (001) surface of tungsten is found to exhibit remarkable differences in the surface core-level shifts (SCLS) of the W 4f level and in adsorbate-induced changes of the transition temperature of the substrate surface reconstruction. Density-functional theory calculations suggest that these results reflect mainly the different bonding geometry of the adatoms, and, for example, the adsorption of potassium is largely affected by an adsorbate-induced reconstruction of the substrate (dimerization of W atoms). © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Surface States, Surface Metal-Insulator, and Surface Insulator-Metal Transitions ∗
I present an informal discussion of various cases where two-dimensional surface metal-insulator structural and charge-density-wave instabilities driven by partly filled surface states have been advocated. These include reconstructions of clean semiconductor surfaces and of W(100) and Mo(100), as well as anomalies on the hydrogen-covered surfaces H/W(110) and H/Mo(110), and possibly alkali-cover...

The atomic structure of self-assembled quasi-one-dimensional Gd chains on Si(111) has been investigated by low-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy. Based on comparison between Gd and Ca chains we show that this Gd induced surface reconstruction belongs to the class of honeycomb chain-channel structures. This clearly demonstrates that, besides monovalent and divalent ad...
