Abstract
The adsorption of Sm on a Mo(110) surface at room temperature is studied as a function of coverage up to several monolayers with AES, LEED, work function change measurements, thermal desorption spectroscopy and low energy electron loss spectroscopy with the goal to determine the evolution of the structure and of structure-related properties with the dimensionality of the system. Although many similarities are found to other rare earth adsorbates on Mo(110) and W(110) such as Eu, Gd, Tb, Yb also features specific to Sm are noted such as a particularly pronounced tendency to island formation. The relation between structure and electronic structure is also discussed.
