摘要
The geometry of the (root 3 X root 3)R30 degrees Li/Ru(0001) phase at a coverage of 0.33 was investigated using low-energy electron diffraction. The analysis revealed that Li atoms reside in the threefold hcp sites as also found with the other alkali metal (root 3 X root 3)R30 degrees phases on Ru(0001). The effective radius of Li turned out to be 1.39 Angstrom close to the covalent Pauling radius. The adsorption of lithium induces a small rumpling of the second Ru layer which has not been observed for the other alkali metal/Ru(0001)-(root 3 X root 3)R30 degrees surfaces. Structural results of the alkali metal/Ru(0001) systems are compared with those of other surfaces. It turns out that at low adsorption temperatures? the occupation of on-top sites is favored for adsorption of bigger alkali metal atoms on close-packed surfaces of ''soft'' metals undergoing local reconstruction.
