Abstract
The room temperature adsorption behaviour of Fe on the five-fold surface of i-Al-Pd-Mn has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). A complex growth scenario for Fe adsorption on this substrate is observed with STM. At coverages up to about 3 MLE (monolayer equivalent), layer-by-layer growth is observed whereby small clusters and islands are formed which eventually coalesce into almost complete monolayers. No LEED pattern is observed, indicating that the layers are disordered. The AES results rule out intermixing. Above this coverage, there is a transition to a multilayer island growth mode. The islands are rotated by 72° and have the bcc(1 1 0) Fe structure. The results are compared with previous work on Fe adsorption on this substrate and on Al and Fe single crystal substrates.
