Abstract:
We present a selection of data from the first spectroscopic investigation on the room temperature growth and annealing of the Si(111)7 × 7 Eu interface. A mixed interface is formed at RT for coverages 5 < θ < 15 monolayers, and it is then saturated by pure Eu overgrowth. Annealing produces a diluted Eu-Si mixture. Eu is in the divalent state in all cases. An intense constant kinetic energy electron emission feature at 10-12 eV, found for excitation energies larger than the 5p3 2core absorption threshold, is recognized as a fingerprint of metallic Eu.
