Low energy ion scattering in the NICISS (neutral impact collision ion
scattering spectrometry) mode and surface channeling are used to study
the surface structure of a single crystal alloy, Au3Pd. The crystal b
elongs to the fee class. At the surface Au segregation is found. The s
urface is not bulk terminated. The top rows of the surface are the [1
(1) over bar 0] rows which are formed by Au atoms. Pd atoms are found
in the second layer only. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
