Ws. Yang et al., COVERAGE DEPENDENCE OF SUPERSTRUCTURES AND PHASE-TRANSITIONS OF PB ONTHE GE(100)2X1 SURFACE, Surface science, 310(1-3), 1994, pp. 120000625-120000631
We report an STM investigation of the Pb adsorption on the Ge(100)2 x
1 surface. With the increase of the Pb coverage, the evolution of the
surface structure and surface morphology was revealed on an atomic sca
le. We also observed some new structures which could not be identified
previously in LEED observations. The observed surface morphology evol
ution indicates that Pb is indeed very reactive and mobile on the Ge(1
00) surface.
