摘要
Intermixed structures for alkalis (larger than Li) on close-packed substrates have previously been observed only on Al(1 1 1). This study shows that K forms an ordered intermixed structure on Pb(1 1 1). The structures of clean Pb(1 1 1) and Pb(1 1 1)(root 3 x root 3)R30 degrees-K were studied using dynamical low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). The clean Pb(1 1 1) surface at 47 K was found to be a relaxed version of the bulk structure, in agreement with an earlier study of the same surface [Y.S. Li, F. Jona, P.M. Marcus, Phys. Rev. B 43 (1991) 6337]. At room temperature, adsorption of K on this surface results in a (root 3 x root 3)R30 degrees structure, which was shown using dynamical LEED to consist of K atoms substituted in surface vacancies. The K-Pb bond length was found to be 3.62 +/- 0.3 angstrom, with no significant change to the Pb interlayer spacings. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
