Recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) observations revealed different layer structures in the heteroepitaxial Cu/Ru(0001) system with increasing film thickness attributed to various stages of strain relaxation. High-resolution low-energy electron diffraction (HRLEED) analysis permits one to derive more exactly both lattice periodicities and lattice rotations. Furthermore, the representative character of local STM results can be proved. However, STM measurements are needed to identify and to assign the satellite spots to coexistent different superstructures which are superposed incoherently in the diffraction pattern. Generally, the integral LEED results confirm the crystallographic data obtained by STM in a local scale.

We have investigated the adsorption of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA) on the clean and on the oxygen pre-covered Cu(100) surface [referred to as (√2 × 2√2)R45° – 2O/Cu(100)] by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). Our results confirm the (4√2 × 5√2)R45° superstructure of PTCDA/Cu(100) reported by A. Schmidt et al. [J. Phys. Chem. 1995, 99,11770–11779]. However, contrary to Schmidt et al., we have no indication for a dissociation of the PTCDA upon adsorption, and we propose a detailed structure model with two intact PTCDA molecules within the unit cell. Domains of high lateral order are obtained, if the deposition is performed at 400 K. For deposition at room temperature, a significant density of nucleation defects is found pointing to a strong interaction of PTCDA with Cu(100). Quite differently, after preadsorption of oxygen and formation of the (√2 × 2√2)R45° – 2O/Cu(100) superstructure on Cu(100), PTCDA forms an incommensurate monolayer with a structure that corresponds well to that of PTCDA bulk lattice planes.
