Crystallography of Metal Surfaces and Adsorbed Layers

  • Chapter
Springer Handbook of Surface Science

Part of the book series: Springer Handbooks ((SHB))

Abstract

Crystallography involves the determination of atom positions with accuracy better than a few percent of interatomic bond lengths. The first part of this chapter describes the main experimental techniques that are used for surface crystallography on metal surfaces: low-energy electron diffraction, photoelectron diffraction, surface x-ray diffraction, and the x-ray standing wave technique. The second part discusses common features and trends found in the structures of metal surfaces with and without adsorbates, and presents representative examples of experimentally determined surface structures. These examples illustrate how the interplay between vertical (adsorbate–substrate) and lateral (adsorbate–adsorbate) interactions of different strengths determines the arrangement of atoms at the surface.
