Abstract
Adatom kinetics on the surfaces of Co overlayers, prepared on the W(110) surface, was studied with scanning tunneling microscopy. By counting the number-density of the adatom-islands, we estimated the ratio of adatom diffusion coefficients. The ratio $D_{W(110)}:D_{1ML\;Co}:D_{2ML\;Co}$ was measured to be 1 : 125 : 33000 at room temperature, where $D_{W(110)},\;D_{1ML\;Co}$, and $D_{2ML\;Co}$ are the diffusion coefficients on bare W(110) surface, on one-monolayer Co overlayer, and on two-monolayers Co overlayers, respectively. An increased diffusion coefficient on two-ML Co overlayers, relative to that on one-ML Co overlayers, was explained with the heteroepitaxial strain effect.
