Abstract

The crystallographic and electronic structure of iron films epitaxially grown on Cu single crystals was investigated by LEED, AS, EELS and UPS. The Cu(l00), Cu(ll0) and Cu(lll)faces were used as substrates for the growth of the iron films. In our study emphasis was placed on the modification of surface properties due to the Fe/Cu interface. Significant variation with respect to α—Fe was observed in the electronic structure of fcc iron formed on the various crystal faces.
