Abstract

The determination of the configuration of atomic adsorbates on clean metal surfaces has been a key issue in surface science 60 years ago and still is today. We demonstrate that despite the prevalence of combined scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory studies of adsorbate systems the pitfalls are plentiful calling for accurate, reliable structure analyses that can be delivered by diffraction methods. We analyze and compare the ordered phases of Te on Ir(111), Ir(100), and Au(100) demonstrating the accuracy, the in-depth information and physical insight that can nowadays be obtained by quantitative low-energy electron diffraction structural analyses.
