Journal ArticleDOI
Clustered, Terraced And Mixed Surface Phases Of The Al70Pd21Mn9 Quasicrystal
Julian Ledieu,A. W. Munz,T. M. Parker,Ronan McGrath,Renee D. Diehl,D. W. Delaney,Thomas A. Lograsso +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the surface of the Al70 Pd21 Mn9 quasicrystal has been studied using STM, LEED and AES images from surfaces which have been sputtered and annealed to 875 K reveal 20-30 A protrusions that have been identified by others as Mackay-type clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The clean and copper-dosed two-fold surface of the icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal
TL;DR: In this paper, the two-fold surface of the icosahedral quasicrystal Al 70.2 Pd 21.5 Mn 8.3 was studied with LEED and STM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and reactivity of Bi allotropes on the fivefold icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal surface.
Joseph Smerdon,N. Cross,Vinod R. Dhanak,Hem Raj Sharma,K. M. Young,T.A. Lograsso,Amy R. Ross,Ronan McGrath +7 more
TL;DR: The growth of Bi on a pseudomorphic Bi monolayer on the fivefold surface of the icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal has been investigated using low energy electron diffraction and scanning tunnelling microscopy and the Bi flux is found to have a strong effect on which island structure is preferred.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron deposition on the five-fold surface of the icosahedral Al–Pd–Mn quasicrystal
TL;DR: In this paper, the room temperature adsorption behavior of Fe on the five-fold surface of i-Al-Pd-Mn has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES).
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural study of Rh(100)-c(2 × 2)-S using the normal-incidence standing X-ray wavefield method
TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption site for sulphur in the Rh(100)-c(2 × 2)-S system has been investigated using the normal-incidence standing X-ray wavefield adaption (NISXW) technique.
