Subsurface impurities in noble metals - a comparison between STM data and simulations of bulk electron transport — •A. Weismann, M. Wenderoth, N. Quaas, and R. G. Ulbrich — IV. Physikalisches Institut der Universität Göttingen,Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, 37077 Göttingen
Isolated sub-surface impurities a few monolayers below the (111) surface of noble metals were prepared by codeposition of host metal and impurity compound from two evaporators and investigated with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy at 8 K. The modulations of the surface electronic density in the vicinity of the the defects show signatures of bulk electron properties, i.e. a threefold symmetry and oscillation lengths much shorter than the wavelength λF of the surface state. Simulations of bulk electron scattering at point defects based on the host metal band-structure were performed. These calculations are in good agreement with the obtained STM data. The surface patterns are strongly influenced by electron focussing effects due to the non-spherical fermi surface of the host metal.
