摘要：

The segregation of Sn in Cu and the formation of a Sn-Cu surface alloy has been studied by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). By annealing Cu(Sn) samples at T = 500 degrees C, we have found a Sn(0.33)Cu(0.66)p(root 3 x root 3)R30 degrees reconstructed surface layer. By increasing T to 750 degrees C, the tin concentration decreases up to 0.20, while the reconstruction is maintained. Atomic-resolution STM images of this phase show no rippling, but several steps. The surface lattice parameters are 0.47 +/- 0.02 and 0.51 +/- 0.02 nm, respectively, along and across the steps. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
