Surface phases and structure determination of thin silver films grown on the Re(1010) surface — •Viktor Scherf, Lyria Messahel, Christian Pauls, and Klaus Christmann — Institut für Chemie und Biochemie der FU Berlin, Takustr.3, D-14195 Berlin

We have examined the growth of silver films on the Re(1010) surface under UHV conditions by means of electron diffraction techniques (MEED and LEED), and carried out a quantitative structure determination of the (1×1)-Ag phase by LEED. In the submonolayer range, the following LEED phases were observed with increasing silver coverage: c(2×2), p(1×4), p(1×5) and p(1×1), their I,V curves will be presented here. The in situ measured MEED curves of the (0,0) beam at 700 K show with increasing Ag coverage permanently two local maxima and minima; both maxima correlate with the formation of c(2×2) structure at different surface coverages. Once the p(1×1) phase is formed, the MEED intensity decreases almost linearly with the deposited amount of Ag indicating the formation of rough silver multilayers which grow according to a Stranski-Krastanov mechanism. We will also present the first dynamic LEED calculation for the Ag p(1×1) structure which clearly suggests the formation of a silver bilayer. The results will be discussed and compared with previous work on the same system as well as on the Au/Re(1010) system [1].
