Abstract

Ultra-thin films (1 and 3 monolayers) of Pd were deposited on the Au(111) surface and then characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray excited Auger spectroscopy (XAES), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), and X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD). For the 1 ML Pd film annealed at 450 °C, XPS and XAES results indicated that Pd had diffused into the Au substrate. For the 3 ML Pd film deposited at room temperature, the comparison between experimental and theoretical XPD results indicated approximately 30% of the surface was formed by 2 ML Au layers, and 70% of the surface, by 1 ML Au layers.
