Abstract

The composition and structure of the (001) oriented surface of the ordered alloy Cu₃Pt were investigated by low-energy Li⁺ and He⁺ ion scattering, and low-energy electron diffraction. The clean and well-annealed surface exhibited a c(2 × 2) LEED pattern. We present evidence that the c(2 × 2) structure corresponds to an ordered c(2 × 2) Cu-Pt second layer below a (1 × 1) Cu termination. Using Li⁺ ions, from analysis of the Cu and Pt critical shadowing edges, the first interlayer spacing was determined to be contracted by about 3%. The results are discussed on the basis of surface segregation and ordering effects. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
