Abstract
The initial stages in the interaction of silver with the (111)Ir surface and with a two-dimensional graphite film (2D GF) on (111)Ir were studied by high-resolution electron Auger spectroscopy in ultrahigh vacuum. The growth mechanisms of silver films and the desorption fluxes of Ag atoms were determined, and their desorption energies estimated. It was found that the Ag desorption fluxes from a 2D GF on Ir and from a thick silver film on the pure metal are similar and considerably (an order of magnitude) smaller than the sublimation fluxes from bulk silver at the same temperatures. The activation energy for desorption from a submonolayer film varies from 3.2 eV for coverage θ=1 to 3.7 eV at θ ∼ 0. It was shown that silver atoms do not penetrate into the substrate bulk throughout the temperature range covered (300–1800 K).
