Abstract

Lifting of the reconstruction of the clean Pt(110) surface under the influence of adsorbed CO proceeds at 300 K through homogeneous nucleation of small “holes” (with about 10 × 10 Å2 size). At 350 K more correlated displacements of [110] strings take place, a characteristic shared with the reverse process, namely the restoration of the 1× 2 phase after desorption.
