Alloy formation of Y with Pd investigated by photoemission and electron diffraction
The structure of Pd capped Y films for an application as a switchable mirror was studied. The surface structures are investigated by reflecting high energy electron diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy. The alloy formation between Y and Pd leads to different structural and electronic properti...

Zusammenfassung: | The structure of Pd capped Y films for an application as a switchable mirror was studied. The surface structures are investigated by reflecting high energy electron diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy. The alloy formation between Y and Pd leads to different structural and electronic properties of the surface, which are compared to the switching behavior of the underlying Y film when exposed to hydrogen. The electronic structure of the intermetallic compound YxPd1−x(0 |
