Electron Spectroscopy Study of Ultra-Thin Layers of Chromium on Ag(100)

A LEED and Auger electron spectroscopy study of the adsorption of Cr on Ag(100) suggests epitaxial growth up to two monolayers with a transition to bilayers before the completion of the first monolayer. Photo-emission measurements of the Cr 3s multiplet splitting indicate a rapid reduction of the ma...

Description
Summary:A LEED and Auger electron spectroscopy study of the adsorption of Cr on Ag(100) suggests epitaxial growth up to two monolayers with a transition to bilayers before the completion of the first monolayer. Photo-emission measurements of the Cr 3s multiplet splitting indicate a rapid reduction of the magnetic moment with coverage. The results show a larger moment than the bulk value for monolayer platelets but considerably less than predicted theoretically. 26 ref.--AA
