Abstract

Using LEED and Auger spectroscopy the growth of Fe overlayers on Ag(100) was observed to follow an epitaxial layer-by-layer mode for three monolayers, after which islanding occured. The large (0.9 eV) work function change seen on deposition is not consistent with the prediction of either the uniform positive background model or the virtual level model of adsorbate-induced work function change.
