19. The intensity of ISS is very sensitive to small amounts of impurities adsorbed on surfaces, especially hydrogen. Desorption of such impurities may account for the fact that the Pt signals in Figure 4 are higher after annealing than before the Cr deposition. This may also cause the initial increase observed for the Cr signal from a Cr multilayer in the left panel of Figure 4, although a smoothening of the surface morphology may also play a role.

21. If one compares the results shown in Table 1 with that of Figure 5, it is found that the onset for the Pt core level shift is at lower temperature (i.e., a 0.2 eV is found at 620 K, while in Figure 5 a similar shift is not seen until ∼800 K) for the coverages listed in Table 1. The early onset of the Pt core level shift is due to the fact that the coverages listed in Table 1 had been annealed for ∼-45 min versus the multilayer in Figure 5 in which the annealing times between data points was only 5 min. Enhanced diffusion and intermixing have occurred for the coverages listed in Table 1 and, hence, resulted in increased alloy formation and larger Pt core level shift for the same temperature.

33. In certain cases, under very specific conditions (Cr concentration and annealing time and temperature) atomic-scale images of a two-dimensional Cr-Pt surface alloy were obtained. The structure is quite complicated and unique however, and a solid interpretation is being worked on at the moment. A discussion of this observation would go beyond the scope of the current paper.
