Quantitative analysis of the data has been performed using the VEGAS routine. It was found that platinum atoms mostly occupy the second layer with a first interlayer distance of d12=123±4 pm and a separation of first and third layers of d13=142 +4 /-10 pm. These represent a contraction of 4% and an expansion of 11% respectively from the ideal termination of the Cu(110) surface. There is clear evidence of the presence of some platinum in the third layer. 2011-06-29 10:51:21 Platinum Pt Copper Cu(110) Medium energy ion scattering (MEIS) Pt/Cu surface alloy Surface structure Adsorption and deposition Quantum Mechanics Physical Sciences not elsewhere classified Condensed Matter Physics
