Abstract
Adsorption of 0.2 ML Na on Al(1 0 0) at room temperature yields a disordered Al(1 0 0)-(1 x 1)-Na phase, which transforms reversibly to a well-ordered Al(1 0 0)-(root5 x root5)R27degrees-Na phase on cooling below 250 K. Based on low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and high resolution core-level spectroscopy (HRCLS) measurements, and on ab initio calculations, it is concluded that the structure of the Al(1 0 0)-(root5 x root5-)R27degrees-Na phase consists of Na atoms occupying substitutional sites. The structural parameters obtained from LEED and density functional theory analyses are in quantitative agreement. Adsorption of 0.2 ML Na at 100 K yields an Al(1 0 0)-c(2 x 2)-Na island structure, which transforms irreversibly into the (root5... (More)

The structural parameters obtained from LEED and density functional theory analyses are in quantitative agreement. Adsorption of 0.2 ML Na at 100 K yields an Al(1 0 0)-c(2 x 2)-Na island structure, which transforms irreversibly into the (root5 x root5)R27degrees-Na structure by annealing above 190 K. The nature of the reversible and irreversible phase transformations to the (root5 x root5)R27degrees structure is investigated by HRCLS and LEED. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
