Abstract
A solid-fluid phase equilibrium has been studied by STM and LEED for coadsorbed Cs and O on a Ru(0001) surface. It is shown that a (√7 × √7)R19° Cs/O structure melts through a coexistance region into a 2D disordered phase upon rising the temperature. STM images recorded at 300 K reveal perfectly ordered islands coexisting with fluid areas which display also small ordered metastable clusters.
