Thermal Dynamics of (110) fcc Metal Surfaces

Abstract

We discuss He- and x-ray diffraction data on the thermal behavior of the clean Cu(110) and Pt(110)(1×2) surface. The unreconstructed Cu(110) surface exhibits already at temperatures of T ≃ 0.4 TM a pronounced thermal anomaly, attributed to an enhanced surface anharmonicity. Upon further increase of the temperature around TR ≃ 0.8 TM steps appear spontaneously and the surface roughens. On the reconstructed Pt(110)(1×2) surface, monoatomic steps are formed spontaneously already at temperatures TR ≃ 0.53 TM.
