The importance of atom layer terraces or steps on platinum surfaces used for catalysis as discussed by Somorjai justifies an extensive investigation of the structure of platinum surfaces through electron microscopy at the atomic resolution level. Experimental and theoretical difficulties complicate the quantitative determination of platinum surface structures but qualitative observation of surface structures on platinum crystals is now possible with good experimental facilities.Ultrathin platinum crystals with nominal 111 orientation are prepared using the procedure reported by Hines without the application of a carbon backing layer. Platinum films with thicknesses of about ten atom layers are strong enough so that they can be mounted on grids to provide ultrathin platinum crystals for examination of surface structure. Crystals as thin as possible are desired to minimize the theoretical difficulties in analyzing image contrast to determine structure. With the current preparation procedures the crystals frequently cover complete openings on a 400 mesh grid.

The evolution of the complexity of structural determination attainable with LEED is reviewed. Considerable progress in methodologies and computers has enabled structures as complex as Cu(100) + (4 × 4)- 10Li to be solved in terms of 18 fit parameters. The Si(111)-(7 × 7) structure could now be refined in terms of 100-or-so fit parameters, if a large-enough experimental dataset were available. Big challenges remain: finding a direct or quick way to identify the one qualitatively correct structure; and, to a lesser degree, providing the required size of the experimental dataset.
