Abstract

The evolution of a 2 ML Au rectangular patch deposited on a${\rm Ag/Si(111)\mbox{-}(\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}){\rm R}30^{\circ}$surface containing three-dimensional Ag islands was studied by scanning photoemission microscopy. The surface composition and electronic structure of the Au patch and of the transition region between the patch and the Au-free Ag/Si area were characterized on a submicron scale at room temperature and after annealing at various temperatures up to 993 K. The spatial expansion of the Au patch due to Au surface diffusion and the chemical state of Ag and Au in the different interface zones were examined by chemical mapping and by analysis of the Ag 3d and Au 4f core level and valence band spectra, taken at selected spots of the surface, From the analysis of the Au 4f core level line shape, we identified a chemical state for Au at the forefront of the Au migration on the$\sqrt{3}\mbox{-}{\rm Ag/Si}$surface and assigned it to an adsorption site on top of Si trimers. This was the dominating Au species for low (
