Abstract
It is common to study a system under the assumption that it has been properly equilibrated. Phenomena occurring at equilibrium can be described by thermodynamics and the parameters that are measured correspond to minimum free-energy states. Most experimental work on surface phases has been done with the assumption of “equilibrium” with the only caveat being that true equilibrium might not be achievable due to kinetic limitations.

It is likely that the degeneracy is actually 8. See Refs. 10 and 17.

Recent work, K. Kato, T. Ide, S. Miura, A. Tamura, and T. Ichinokawa, Surface Sci.Letters, 194:L87 (1988)., indicates that a low level of Ni contamination, may be associated with the existence of the (2xn) phase. In our work, no Ni was observable. If Ni is associated with the phase, its disordering kinetics could be related to the redistribution of Ni during the anneal. In that case, the mechanism for the disordering may be different from the one suggested here.
