Résumé

We report the adsorption of Fe for several dosing conditions on Al(1 0 0) surface held at different temperatures. For 2 monolayer equivalent of Fe deposited on the substrate held at 593 K, we observe two rotational domains of a (× 5 5)R26.6°structure by low energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy. We identify this structure as the formation of the metastable Al 9 Fe 2 intermetallic phase. The segregation energy and the structural stability of this intermetallic has been analysed using density functional theory based calculations. We propose that the formation of the Al 9 Fe 2 (0 0 1) metastable phase at the expense of other thermodynamically stable Al-Fe compounds, relies on a specific structural similarity between pure Al (0 0 1) planes of the inter-metallic and Al(1 0 0) layers. These 'common' planes lead to the epitaxial relationship (1 0 0) Al [0 0 1] Al ∥ (0 0 1) Al Fe 9 2 [1 3 0] Al Fe 9 2. The Al 9 Fe 2-Al matrix interface is sharp as revealed by transmission electron microscopy measurements.
