Properties of Ultrathin Pb Layers on the Ni(001) Face — •Katarzyna Miśków, Maciej Góral, Wojciech Pawłowski, Tomasz Kraśnicki, Tomasz Kosmala, Zbigniew Jankowski, and Aleksander Krupski — Institute of Experimental Physics, University of Wroclaw, PL.Maksa Borna 9, Pl 50-204 Wroclaw, Poland

The atomic structure and morphology of ultrathin Pb layers deposited on the Ni(001) face in ultrahigh vacuum at the substrate temperature ranging from 145 K to 900 K were investigated with the use of Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and Low-Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED). AES results indicate that the growth of lead layer on the Ni(001) face depends on substrate temperature. The analysis of AES measurements shows that the two-dimensional growth of the first Pb monolayer takes place for the substrate temperature from 145 K to 900 K. After the completion of the first lead monolayer, the three-dimensional growth of Pb is observed. Over the range the Stransky - Krastanov growth was observed. The Pb-Ni alloy formation was not observed. Above T > 600K, desorption of lead atoms is observed. The ordered LEED patterns corresponding to p(1x1) and c(2x2) structures have been observed.
