Abstract

In this paper we review recent advances in the study of the structure of chemisorbed layers on transition metal surfaces in real space using the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). The examples include Carbon on Pt(l 11) and Sulfur on Mo(001) and on Re(0001). The new phenomena that were unraveled by the STM and other surface science techniques include the passivation of the surfaces by a single layer of adsorbates that prevented oxidation and contamination in air. In Ultra High Vacuum, the STM revealed the multiple structures formed by S on Re as a function of coverage. It revealed also that at local coverages above 0.25 monolayers, isolated S adatoms are not stable and coalesce into structures formed by trimers and other aggregates.
