Abstract

Angle-resolved photoemission extended fine structure from adsorbate core levels yields complete, accurate surface structures without resort to trial-and-error comparisons to theory. Scattering peaks from individual substrate atoms were observed with use of

S (1 s)

photoemission from

c (2 \times 2) S / Ni (001)

and

p (2 \times 2) S / Cu (001)

, along [011]. Fourfold-hollow site geometries were found for both systems, with interatomic distances of

R (S - N i) = 2.24 (3)

Å and

R (S - C u) = 2.28 (3)

Å.
