Abstrakt: The deposition of aluminum on S/Fe(111)(1× 1) at 300 K in UHV results in the formation ofa disordered S-modified Al adlayer. Insertion of Albetween the sulfur atoms and the Fe substrate isindicated by an increase of the S Auger signal withincreasing Al deposition. Room-temperature oxidation ofAl/S/Fe(111) in UHV is inhibited compared to theoxidation of aluminum deposited on the sulfur-freeFe(111). The oxygen-uptake curves and variations in theS(LVV), Fe(MVV) intensities with oxygen exposure arealso consistent with the insertion of the aluminum atomsbetween the S overlayer and the Fe substrate.
