Missing-row-type restructuring of the Cu(001) surface induced by Li adsorption: a low-energy electron diffraction analysis

The 2 × 1 structure formed on a Cu(001) surface upon Li deposition at 300 K is determined by low-energy electron diffraction analysis. The structure consists of missing rows in the top layer of the Cu(001) surface, in which Li atoms are located. The interlayer spacing between the first and second la...

Summary:The 2 × 1 structure formed on a Cu(001) surface upon Li deposition at 300 K is determined by low-energy electron diffraction analysis. The structure consists of missing rows in the top layer of the Cu(001) surface, in which Li atoms are located. The interlayer spacing between the first and second layer of the substrate is contracted by 7% from the bulk value. It is revealed that not only Cu(110) but also Cu(001) undergoes missing-row type restructuring upon alkali-metal adsorption at room temperature.
