Abstract
The adsorption of 0.2 monolayers (ML) of Na on Al(100) has been studied both experimentally, using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and high resolution core level spectroscopy (HRCLS), and theoretically, using density functional theory (DFT). Two ordered phases are found: Islands of c (2×2) symmetry with Na atoms occupying four-fold hollow sites result from low temperature deposition and a (√5×√5)R27° structure with Na in surface substitutional sites is formed by annealing of the low temperature island structure at 300 K and subsequent cooling below 230 K. The (√5×√5)R27° structure undergoes a reversible order-disorder phase transition at ~230 K. To investigate this phase transition further, we performed additional DFT calculations... (More)

The (√5×√5)R27° structure undergoes a reversible order-disorder phase transition at ~230 K. To investigate this phase transition further, we performed additional DFT calculations for a wide range of coverages (from 0.0625 to 0.5 ML), for adsorption in both hollow and substitutional sites, from which we extract interaction energies which are used in a lattice gas Monte Carlo simulations (Less)
