摘要
We have investigated the crystallographic structure of ultra-thin Mn films deposited at room temperature on a clean Ag(100) single crystal, using angle-resolved ultra-violet photoemission, X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) and low-energy electron diffraction. The evolution of the Ag 4d valence band shows deviations from simple layer by layer growth. These results, combined with the XPD data, indicate that by similar to 1-1.5 monolayers of Mn a two layers thick Mn-rich epitaxial MnAg alloy is formed that continues the face centered cubic lattice of the Ag substrate.
