Photoelectron spectroscopy at kinetic energies of = 57G eV has been performed on a Cu (111) surface with Co coverages of up to 50 monolayers. The angle-integrated data indicate that tall islands develop with Cu atoms in the top layers. The angular distributions of the photoelectrons were measured using a display-type analyzer with an opening angle of 88'. The Co emission patterns always show some threefold symmetry corresponding to the fcc structure of the clean Cu (111) surface. Most of the Co atoms are in the hcp structure and this fraction increases with coverage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
