Department of Theoretical Physics, The Royal lnstttute of Technolog3', S- 100- 44 Stockholm, Sweden Received 29 November 1983; accepted for publication 2 July 1984 We present in this paper some general aspects of beam threshold effects in LEED concerning their observation, their extension and their detection. The observation is possible on LEED intensities but also on crystal to ground current and total reflected current. We discuss the various types of profiles due to threshold effects for LEED intensities. From universal relations coming from emergence conditions of a new beam we draw universal charts for the "speed of emergence" versus E, O or ,~. These charts are used for a discussion of the range in I ( E ) or 1(~) profiles, where threshold effects may affect the LEED intensities. The same relations are used for a discussion of the detection of threshold effects. Assuming a Gaussian distribution (in energy and angles) for the incident beam, we derive a "total equivalent experimental resolution" and we discuss the consequence on intensity profiles and on the optimal conditions of detection.

IR-reflection spectroscopy (IRS) under grazing incidence and UV-photoemission (UPS) with Hel and Hell radiation were used to study the adsorption of D20 and H20, respectively, on Pt(111) under U HV conditions. In I RS three different vibrational bands in the OD stretch region yield information about the orientation of hydrogen-bonded water molecules and the formation of water clusters. Initially formed water multimers grow to clusters and finally build up multilayers. From UPS the adsorption of molecular water in the whole coverage range is confirmed. Both UPS and IRS show that the water molecules in the "first layer" are bound through their oxygen end to the surface.
