Abstract

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, complemented by a theoretical analysis of the images, can give important informations on static steps of an heterogeneous reaction mechanism, such as the adsorption of atoms and molecule on a metallic surface. The examples of the adsorption of S on Re(0001) and of benzene on Rh(111) are detailed after a presentation of the theoretical approach. The STM image is shown to be strongly dependent on the geometry and symmetry of the adsorption sites and to give important informations on the electronic structure of the adsorbate.
