Abstract
The thermally activated inversion of Kr-Xe bilayers on Pd is studied with the use of photoemission and photon-excited Auger spectroscopy. Bilayers formed by the deposit of a monolayer or less of Xe on top of a monolayer of Kr on Pd at 49 K are shown to invert when the temperature is raised, with Xe coming in direct contact with the substrate. For a Pd(111) substrate the activation energy of this inversion process is determined: ${E}_{a}=0.12\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03$ eV.
