摘要
A (root 3x root 3)R30 degrees C-terminated structure on Mo2C(0001) was observed by scanning tunneling microscopy. The structure was observed as a honeycomb structure with dark depressions corresponding to C atoms which make up the (root 3 x root 3)R30 degrees lattice. High resolution imaging was possible at low tunneling resistance less than 1 M Ohm. Each C atom appears as a shallow sombrero protrusion predicted by theoretical calculations of C atoms on a metal substrates. It is concluded that the C atoms occupied threefold hollow sites of the (1 x 1) Mo layer of the substrate and a model for the (root 3 x root 3)R30 degrees structure is proposed.
