Abstract:The alloying process of Ti deposited on Cu(0 0 1) was studied by means of XPS, LEIS, XPD and LEED intensity analysis. With the sample held at 570 K, a linear decrease of the Cu LEIS signal as a function of the amount of Ti deposited is observed in the early stages of deposition until a constant value is reached. At the onset of the plateau a c(√2 × 5√2)R45° LEED pattern starts to be visible. XPD and LEED intensity measurements were performed for the c(√2 × 5√2)R45° phase prepared depositing ca. 1.5 monolayer of Ti. The angle-scanned XPD curves measured for the phase c(√2 × 5√2)R45° reveal that Ti atoms substitute Cu atoms in the fcc lattice of the substrate. The polar XPD curves show that at least the first four layers of the substrate are involved in the alloying process. We found that the (3 1 0) plane of the Cu4Ti alloy (D1a type-structure) fits, without significant contraction or expansion of the lattice parameters, the c(√2 × 5√2)R45° structure. The intensity versus energy curves of the diffracted beams were calculated on the basis of this structural model using the tensor LEED method. The results of the LEED intensity analysis provide a further evidence of the formation of a slab of Cu4Ti(3 1 0) layers.
