Abstract

We review recent work on the determination of the geometrical structures of several two-dimensional phases appearing in the early stages of the formation at and beyond room-temperature, of prototypical metal-semiconductor interfaces, namely Ag/Si(111), Pb/Ge(111) and Pb/Si(111). In parallel we present new data obtained by synchrotron radiation photoemission experiments on the same systems. Comparison of the structural results with the development of the electronic properties sheds light on numerous crucial points like the nature of the reversible 2D phase transitions that occur at 250–300°C for Pb on Ge(111) and Si(111).
