Abstract
Epitaxial growth of sub-monolayer coverages of an adsorbate on a substrate produces a surface that simultaneously exhibits order and disorder on various length scales below 1000 Å. We present examples of different ordering phenomena from scanning tunneling microscope (STM) studies of the growth of metals on semiconductor and metal surfaces. These results illustrate the local ordering of surface reconstructions and the effect of substrate surface reconstruction on nucleation and growth. The STM provides information about these surfaces that is largely inaccessible to other analytical techniques.
