摘要
The adsorption systems Pb/Ge(I 11) and Sn/Ge(I 11) exhibit temperature induced structural phase transitions. We report here a phenomenological analysis of these phase transitions starting from Landau theory. On the basis of symmetry arguments, we show that essential differences are expected theoretically for the critical behavior of the two interfaces. The influence of hopping defects in these systems is treated using a Landau-like approach. This approach gives us a consistent and general manner to interpret the existing experimental data for these interfaces.
