Abstract

The measurements presented here show the value of synchrotron light for determining both the electronic structure of overlayers, and the physical nature of the overlayer-substrate interface. A comparison is given between deposited layers and thermally stabilized layers. Estimates are also made of the bonding energy between the overlayer and substrate.
