SUMMARY A (001) surface of molybdenum, covered by one monolayer of sulphur was prepared in UHV and characterized by LEED, Auger and XPS. This surface was found to be stable in air for periods of several days. STM images of the surface, obtained in air in the topographic and local barrier height modes, revealed the atomic arrangement of sulphur atoms in domains with 1×2 and 2×1 periodicities. Boundaries between domains, adsorbate and substrate defect structures and crystallites formed during the initial oxidation of the Mo substrate were observed.
