| contents | We systematically investigated the superstructure evolution of Te atoms on Au(111) substrate at different coverages. As revealed by low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, Te atoms form one-dimensional root3 R30° chains near 0.10 monolayer (ML). Two two-dimensional chiral structures, (root111*root111)R4.7° and (3root21*3root21)R10.9°, can be formed and their stability can be tuned by slightly adjusting the Te coverge near 1/3 ML. A honeycomb-like superstructure is observed by further increasing the coverage to 4/9 ML. An interfacial state emerges at ~-0.65 eV due to Te adsorption on Au(111). The formation of these Te-induced high-order superstructures is accompanied by relaxation of gold atoms in the surface layer, indicating the strong Te-Au interaction. |
