Abstract

With the field-ion microscope one not only can locate individual atoms at a surface, but under some circumstances also can discriminate between chemically different species. These capabilities are illustrated in an examination of the strength of binding in silicon-metal surface clusters and in a detailed analysis of their mobility.
