Abstract

We present a detailed experimental study of the geometric, electronic and adsorptive properties of ultrathin Ni films on a W(110) surface. In parallel we have performed calculations on clusters representing the bimetallic system in order to improve the understanding of the relationship between the chemical properties of ultrathin metal films and their geometric as well as electronic structure. Our results indicate that the modification of the electronic structure induced by the intermetallic bond is the most important factor in determining the unique properties of metallic overlayers.
