Dynamical low-energy electron diffraction study of graphite (0 0 0 1)-(√3×√3)R30°-Xe

Dynamical low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) was used to study the structures of graphite (0 0 0 1) and graphite (0 0 0 1)-(√3×√3)R30°-Xe. Natural single crystals of graphite were used in these studies, and their surface structure was found to be the same as the bulk structure. The adsorbed Xe was found to occupy the hollow sites of the honeycomb substrate at a distance of 3.59 ± 0.04 Å above the graphite plane.
