A. Grossmann et al., ADSORBATE-INDUCED SURFACE STRESS AND SURFACE RECONSTRUCTION - OXYGEN,SULFUR AND CARBON ON NI(111), Surface science, 337(3), 1995, pp. 183-189
The absorbate-induced surface stress of carbon, oxygen, and sulfur on
Ni(111) was investigated at different substrate temperatures. All thre
e adsorbates cause a compressive stress which increases non-linearly w
ith coverage. The results are discussed in connection with the adsorba
te-induced reconstructions.
