Abstract

Photoemission techniques were used to study the electronic properties of two-dimensional islands of Au deposited on Pt(100) in the submonolayer range. Shifts of approximately 0.6 eV were observed in both valence-band and core-level binding energies from =1to0.1. These shifts are interpreted in terms of the increasing proportion of island edges as the gold coverage approaches zero. Above =1 the surface-bulk energy shift was found to agree with previously published data.
