Multilayer relaxation in metallic surfaces as demonstrated by LEED analysis

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7095171
Theoretical motivations are reviewed for investigation of multilayer relaxation in relatively simple metallic surfaces. Results from LEED analyses are presented which serve to demonstrate that multilayer relaxation measurably exists in Cu(100) and Cu(110) surfaces. The results from two independent LEED analyses for Cu(110) are shown to be in much better agreement with each other than the LEED results are with multilayer relaxation results obtained by high energy ion scattering. Multilayer relaxation results for other metallic surfaces also are reviewed briefly, and all available results are discussed in relationship to those obtained by a theoretical, model-type, inquiry of Landman, Hill and Mostoller.
