Spinodal decomposition driven formation of Pt-nanowires on Ge(001)
Using low energy electron microscopy, we have found that the deposition of Pt on Ge(001) leads to the formation of a surface confined eutectic liquid when the system is heated above 980 K. From the bulk phase diagram we derive the composition of the eutectic phase: Ge $_{0.78}$ Pt $_{0.22}$ . Upon s...
