19. While we do not observe an ordered phase at these intermediate exposures, a disordered striped phase (Ref. 8, and Gerlach et. al Appl. Phys. A: Mater. Sci. Process. 65, 375 (1997)] have been previously observed (with STM, LEAD, and LEED). These phases might be stabilized from the disordered “intermediate” phase under particular growth conditions as local minima in the free energy surface.
