T h e dtfferent structures of Pb on G e ( l l l ) have been studied as a function of Pb-coverage up to two monolayers wtth scanning t u n n e h n g microscopy At low coverages a c(2 × 8) and a (v/3 × v~)R30* reconstruction with a mtxture of Pb and Ge adatoms both occupying T4-sltes was observed T h e bias voltage dependence of topographic images of these structures xs interpreted m terms of a charge transfer between the different adatom danghng-bond orbltals O n the basis of the STM images new structural models for the metastable (4 × 4) reconstruction and the higher density (¢'3- × vr3)R30 * reconstruction are proposed In a d d m o n a previously unobserved striped i n c o m m e n s u r a t e phase was found for coverages greater than 4 / 3 monolayers T h e data from th~s striped phase are compared with the predictions of domain-wall theory for c o m m e n s u r a t e - i n c o m m e n s u r a t e phase t r a n s m o n s
