Thermal-Energy Atom-Scattering Study of Lead Submonolayers on Cu(110)

Submonolayers of Pb deposited at room temperature on a Cu(110) substrate undergo, with increasing Pb coverage, a continuous transition \lattice gas - > c(2 x 2) structure\, followed by a first-order transition \c(2 x 2) - > p(4 x 1)\. The further transformation of the p(4 x 1) layer into a qua...

Description
Summary:Submonolayers of Pb deposited at room temperature on a Cu(110) substrate undergo, with increasing Pb coverage, a continuous transition \lattice gas - > c(2 x 2) structure\, followed by a first-order transition \c(2 x 2) - > p(4 x 1)\. The further transformation of the p(4 x 1) layer into a quasicompact hexagonal layer with p(5 x 1) structure occurs by elimination of domain walls, probably with intermediate formation of a p(9 x 1) structure.
