We have characterized the growth of La on Ag(111) by UPS, XPS and LEED. At La coverages of about 4 ML or higher and subsequent annealing we observe an ordered (2x2) surface structure that is rotated by 30∘ with respect to the substrate. In analogy to the well-studied system CePt5, we identify our system as a LaAg5 alloy in a CaCu5-type structure.
Employing angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) we measured the band structure along high symmetry lines and the Fermi surface (FS) of the LaAg5 films. We find several sharp bands near the Fermi level and a high anisotropy in the FS. Our results are compared to ARPES results on CePt5 and LaPt5 as well as first-principles calculations. The system shall serve as a reference for iso-structural alloys composed of other lanthanoids, such as Ce or Gd, potentially showing Kondo physics or other magnetic effects.
