“…Therefore, the goal of this work is to apply directional elastic peak electron spectroscopy (DEPES) [16] to reveal the structure of a thick Cu overlayer. The DEPES measurement technique was used for the structural characterization of other adsorption systems [16][17][18][19]. The comparison of the results obtained with LEED and AES data extends our knowledge about the Cu/ Ru 1010 system concerning the long range order and its chemical composition as well as the growth mode of the adsorbate.…”
