Abstract:In situ observation of low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) patterns during the phase transition of the Sc–O∕W(100) surface at high temperature was performed to investigate the correlation between the surface atomic arrangement, coverage of surface atoms, and work function during the phase transition. For this purpose, a LEED system enabling LEED observation at high temperatures of 1500–1900K was developed. The temperature dependence of the intensity of diffraction spots was measured, and the Debye temperatu… Show more
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.
