摘要
A low-temperature (25 K) STM study of Cs adsorption on Cu(211) indicates that Cs forms variable-density structures which align along the step edges of the Cu(211) surface. The density of the overlayer increases with Cs coverage, forming a quasihexagonal c(2 x 2) structure at a coverage of 0.17. A dynamical LEED study of that structure at 130 K indicates that the Cs atoms are adsorbed on top of the Cu atoms in the center of the terraces, with a Cs-Cu nearest-neighbor distance of 3.56 +/- 0.04 Angstrom. This structure is accompanied by a significant rumpling of the Cu(211) surface.
