The growth of Ru on Pt(111) at substrate temperatures in the range of 50-500∘C was studied by high resolution STM and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Ru deposition at temperatures up to 250∘C leads to the formation of triangular bilayer islands [1]. The lateral dimensions of these bilayer islands become more uniform with increasing substrate temperature, but show little dependence on evaporation rate and Ru coverage. At deposition temperatures of 300∘C or higher, in contrast the islands are only of monoatomic height. Based on STM-imaging with chemical contrast and AES analyses, this is associated with the onset of surface alloy formation. The influence of the different strengths of Pt-Pt, Pt-Ru, and Ru-Ru interactions as well as the role of lattice mismatch effects are discussed.
