Abstract
Upon sputtering and subsequent annealing, the subsurface region of the (100) surface of FeAl undergoes a transition to a practically stable and ordered Fe3Al slab. It is capped by an Al top layer forming a rath er complex interface to the bulk FeAl. This shows that routine surface preparation procedures with sputtering involved can lead to substanti al restructuring extending deep into the surface.
