Abstract
The local geometries of Li adsorbed on the furrowed (211) surface of Mo have been investigated by a LEED-IV analysis using an energy of 30-180 eV. Adsorbate-induced lateral interactions mediated mainly through the substrate turn out to be mainly responsible for the formation of the low-coverage and Li(1 × 4) and Li(1 × 2) chain systems, which have been investigated quantitatively. While the adsorbate-induced vertical relaxations in the substrate have been found to remain small, the lateral relaxations reach values up to 0.15 angstrom. Especially for the Li(1 × 4) structure, these relaxations are correlated, forming wave-like regions of lateral compression and dilatation. They seem to be the consequence of adsorbate-induced Friedel oscillations of the electron density of the substrate, which screen the charge of the adatoms along the [1̄11]-channel direction of Mo(211). Furthermore, as concluded from the bond lengths determined by IV-LEED, the Li-metal bond is much less ionic than that predicted by the Langmuir-Gurney model of chemisorption.
