Abstract
The method of low energy ion scattering in the impact collision mode (ICISS) has been substantially improved by the use of alkali ions. Alkali ions extend the capabilities of ICISS towards the relative positioning of atoms lying in the first and deeper layers, which is a premise for the characterization of surface reconstruction. The self calibration procedure based on the experimental determination of an effective shadow cone is an important advantage. The small contribution of multiple scattering effects in ICISS allows a straightforward determination of the locations of surface atoms. On the basis of a large number of ICISS data the oxygen induced surface reconstruction of Cu(110) has been shown to be correctly described by the missing row model.
