Abstract

The formation of a single Pb layer on a quasi-perfect Ag∗(111) single crystal face by underpotential deposition (UPD) is studied with the electrochemical technique (voltammetry) and Monte Carlo simulation. Comparing the results of the two studies, the detailed mechanism of formation of the UPD layer can be distinguished and a value of the lateral interaction of lead atoms within the layer of ϵ = 5.74 × 10 −21 J can be estimated. This value is in very good agreement with other estimates in the literature.
