Abstract
Studies of evaporated platinum particles onto substrates of highly ori ented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) and nuclear grade high purity graphite (NCHPG) were performed by tunnelling microscopy (STM) and high resolu tion transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Distortion of the elect ronic density of states of the graphite surface near a particle was ob served with STM, as well as epitaxial growth of the metal particles as demonstrated by the HRTEM images.
