overlapping domains described by the matrices ([10, −2]; [−1, 4]) and ([10, 2]; [1, 4]). High-resolution core-level XPS measurements of the Au 4f and Si 2p signals showed two distinct components that could [...] of the Si 2p and Pt 4f signals indicate a bond between the Si and the Pt atoms. There is no significant component that could show a Pt-Pt interaction. XPD measurements are taken of the Si 2p and Pt 4f [...] silicon is deposited onto a (2 × 1) reconstructed Au(110) surface, forming a low-dimensional surface alloy. While the sample is held on a temperature of T = 400 °C, 0.2 ML silicon are deposited via physical …
