Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie des Surfaces (ERA 313), ENSCP, Unioersitd Pierre et Marie Curie, 11 Rue Pierre et Marie Curie, F-75005 Paris, France Received 14 July 1983; accepted for publication 3 November 1983 Changes in secondary emission during the adsorption of lead on copper (111) and (100) surfaces, followed by monitoring the crystal current (SEECC technique), are compared with changes in the work function as well as with variations in the Auger signals. The work function variation for the (100) face exhibits a sudden change that may be due to a transition of the adsorbate from a 1D (atomic chain) type of structure to a 2D structure. The secondary emission changes are not explained entirely by the work function variations; there are also effects that are correlated with changes in adsorbate structure and which are probably due to diffraction at the surface.

Intensity and spin polarization of the (0,0) beam from Fe(ll0) have been measured for the clean surface and for a coverage of up to a quarter of a monolayer of oxygen and sulfur. By the choice of a particular geometry spin-orbit coupling effects are eliminated, so that pure exchange scattering is observed. The energy ranges from - 1 to - 100 eV; polarization of more than 20% is observed at low energies, From the comparison of the results for clean and adsorbate covered surfaces it is concluded, that the adsorption of O and S in small amounts does not generate a "magnetically dead" surface layer.
