Popis: Using low energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) techniques, we have studied the first steps of silicon adsorption onto Cu (001) single crystal substrate. For low coverage (∼0.5 ML) and after annealing at 100 °C, STM images and LEED patterns reveal the formation of an ordered quasi commensurate (5×3) superstructure. From a quantitative analysis of XAS data, we extract the Si-Cu distance and detail the local atomic arrangement of the (5×3) structure.
