Abstract
Nanometer transverse resolved real space observations of the initial p hases of room-temperature heteroepitaxy of fcc Fe/Cu(100) indicate tha t vertical atomic site exchange occurs locally. The formation of two-d imensional supersurface and subsurface islands has been characterized by secondary and Auger electron imaging. The persistence of vertical s ite exchange during the deposition of the first two monolayers is not inconsistent with the lack of observed ferromagnetism for the room-tem perature grown fcc Fe/Cu(100) at these coverages.
