20. The subtraction procedure can be described as the following: a spectrum from the 0.17 ML situation with no binding energy component at 18.2 eV in the K 3p level was subtracted from K 3p spectra taken from samples with higher K coverages.

34. It has been reported that island formation occurs for K on Ag(100) into a phase which was interpreted from the observed LEED patterns to be compressed by 8% [33]. Quite different K-induced structures were, however, observed in a different LEED study [34]. Because of this unsettled situation concerning K/Ag(100), we have chosen not to include this system in Table 1.

If the 5p level is instead treated as a non-interacting core level, no contraction occurs. As the outermost p core level of the other alkali metals is more strongly bound, which implies that it is more localized, a direct application of the Cs results to the rest of the alkali metals seems somewhat problematic to us.
