Journal ArticleDOI
Quasiperiodic Pb monolayer on the fivefold i -Al-Pd-Mn surface: Structure and electronic properties
TL;DR: Ledieu et al. as discussed by the authors presented a structural model of quasiperiodic Pb overlayers formed on the fivefold surface of an icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal at two different coverages close to saturation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decomposition of the five-fold surface of Al70Pd21Mn9 at elevated temperature
Julian Ledieu,Christopher A. Muryn,G. Thornton,Giovanni Cappello,Joël Chevrier,Renee D. Diehl,T.A. Lograsso,D. W. Delaney,Ronan McGrath +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported STM images showing the existence of a new phase on the surface of the Al70Pd21Mn9 quasicrystal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkali-metal adsorption on copper and nickel surfaces
Renee D. Diehl,Ronan McGrath +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, most of the experimental results for the submonolayer adsorption of alkali metals on copper and nickel surfaces are reviewed, with emphasis on the structural findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ordering of adsorbed species on quasicrystal surfaces
Joseph Smerdon,L. H. Wearing,Joseph Parle,Lydie Leung,Hem Raj Sharma,Julian Ledieu,Ronan McGrath +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of experimental studies of the structure of adsorbed atomic and molecular species on quasicrystal surfaces with a particular focus on those systems where quasiperiodic ordering of the adsorbate structure occurs.
Journal Article
A surface X-ray diffraction study of the Rh(100) (2x2)-O reconstruction
TL;DR: The 0.5 ML oxygen-induced reconstruction of the Rh(100) surface has been investigated using surface x-ray diffraction in this article, where the oxygen atoms were found to be situated in the diamond site rather than the rotated fourfold hollow site, with an in-plane displacement of 0.19±0.02 A.
