AbstractAngular distribution measurements of the helium atom scattering intensity from monolayer films of KCN/KBr(001) for several azimuths over a temperature range of approximately 40–200 K reveal that above ˜95 K the KCN monolayer forms a (1×1) overlayer structure with respect to the KBr substrate. (The lattice spacing of bulk KCN in the rocksalt-structure phase differs from that of KBr by only ˜ 1%.) Below this temperature the overlayer appears to be (2×1), and “missing” diffraction spots in the <110> high symmetry direction suggest the existence of a glide plane. The inferred structure for this low temperature phase consists of K+ ions fixed in their rocksaltstructure positions relative to the substrate and the CN− ions oriented so that their dipoles are aligned antiferroelectrically within the new unit cell.

The adsorption of atomic hydrogen on Cu (111) has been studied using the techniques of helium atom scattering (HAS) and medium-energy ion scattering (MEIS). Ion scattering investigations of the saturated (3 × 3)- H / Cu (111) system indicate that no reconstruction of the Cu substrate exists along the high symmetry directions of the surface. The HAS hydrogen cross-section for H / Cu (111) has been determined to be (12.5 ± 2.5 Å2). The symmetry of the HAS diffraction pattern shows that the (3 × 3)- H / Cu (111) system is formed of a single domain structure.
