Surface confined alloys are excellent model systems for studies of structure-property relationships of bimetallic surfaces. They are formed by deposition of a guest metal B onto a substrate A, followed by annealing to a temperature, where place exchange between adatoms and atoms from the underlying surface layer becomes possible and diffusion into the bulk is sufficiently slow. We exemplarily confirmed by scanning tunneling microscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy for PtRu/Ru(0001) [2], PdRu/Ru(0001) [3,4], AuPt/Pt(111), AgPt/Pt(111), and AgPd/Pd(111), surface alloys are obtained for systems where metal B has a negative surface segregation energy within metal A [1]. By exchanging A and B, however, AB surface alloys are most likely overgrown by metal B, which we will demonstrate for RuPt/Pt(111) [5,6] in comparison to PtRu/Ru(0001) [2].
