Abstract

Platinum is relatively reactive, compared to silver and copper, which prompted us to study the growth and structure of a thin insulating layer on Pt(111). We grew monolayer islands of NaCl and studied them with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). STM images of the islands revealed a square lattice which we confirmed, via density functional theory (DFT) ...
