Popis: The (110) surface structure of the Pt25Co75 alloy in the substitutionally disordered state was studied by quantitative LEED. In a way similar to PtxNi1−x(110) surfaces, on the Ni rich side, the composition profile versus depth is strongly oscillating with a pure cobalt top layer; however, the oscillation is stronger and goes deeper for Pt25Co75(110) than for the previously studied surfaces of Pt10Ni90(110) and Pt50Ni50(110). Actually the selvedge, which can be easily produced by simple standard argon cleaning and annealing UHV techniques, is a sequence of three almost pure layers: CoPtCo. This provides an interesting system to be studied: the monolayer limit of PtCo sandwiches.
