Surface Phases and Structure Determination of Thin Gold Films Grown on a Re(1010) Surface — •Lyria Messahel, Christian Pauls, and Klaus Christmann — Institut für Chemie und Biochemie, FU-Berlin

Gold atoms deposited onto a clean Re(1010) surface form, as a function of surface concentration, various submonolayer phases leading to (1× n) LEED structures (n=3,4,5,6), the final one being a (1× 1) phase associated with a pseudomorphic Au bilayer and a coverage of two monolayers (Θ =2) [1].

The first well-ordered Au overlayer structure is a (1× 3) phase [1]. If we relate its coverage to the surface concentration of the full bilayer (Θ =2) we end up with a coverage Θ 1× 3=4/3. LEED calculations have been performed for various Au surface geometries based on this coverage. However, a plausible ball model suggests an additional Au atom in the (1×3) unit cell, and a LEED I,V calculation has also been carried out for Θ 1× 3=5/3. We will present the calculated I,V curves for both coverages and compare their structural parameters (geometrical displacements and thermal vibration amplitudes). An additional analysis of the Au(1× 4) phase’s experimental data will also be presented as a support to the assumption Θ 1× 3=5/3.
