Observation of a nanoscale chessboard superstructure in the Br-Cu(100) adsorbate system

The absorption of bromine on Cu(100) has been studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy. At bromine coverages below that required to saturate the well-known c(2×2) reconstruction, a novel mesoscopic superstructure is formed by gently annealing a room-temperature-exposed surface. This involves island...
