Electron reflectivity measurements of Ag adatom concentrations on W(110)

We can use electron reflectivity at low energies (5eV) as a precise probe on adatom densities. Through its use, it is easy to determine the phase diagram of 2d-adatom gas and condensed islands. [More]

Leed pattern from a single terrace!

Is the hcp(0001) surface three-fold symmetric or six-fold? With LEEM we directly adquire the diffraction pattern from a single terrace, which is three-fold. Averaging over multiple terraces gives the commonly observed six-fold pattern. To see more, go to http://www.arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0601475 [More]

SPLEEM image with arrows indicating the magnetization direction of 1 and 2 MLCo/Ru surface

We found two spin-reorientation transitions in the first three atomic layers of Co grown layer by layer on Ru(0001). [More]

STM gets atomic resolution

2005/01/24 The STM is working UHV (1.6x 10-10 torr). Atomic resolution on O/Ru (2x2) have been observed.
