Surface Structure Determination of Group 11 Metals Adsorbed on a Rhenium(101̄0) Surface by Low-Energy Electron Diffraction

I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Klaus Christmann of the Free University of Berlin for his inspiration, guidance and support. It has been a privilege to be a member of his department. His colleague and successor Prof. Dr. Thomas Risse has likewise been an appreciated source of support. My grateful thanks are due to the DAAD for its financial support and, in particular, to Mrs Anke Bahrani. My dear colleagues, Daniel Przyrembel, Inga Spreine, Viktor Scherf, and Christian Pauls helped me to develop a clearer understanding of Surface Science, readily sharing their own knowledge and experience in innumerable conversations. The expert technical support of Karin Schubert and Rudolf Cames also helped advance my understanding. Jadranka Dokić, Anatole Kenfack, and Lamine Madjet showed the Free University of Berlin to be not only a place of science but also a community of friends and inspiring individuals from many different cultures, but with so much in common. My respects and thanks go also to Prof. Dr. Saâd Ouichaoui and Prof. Dr. Mezi-ane Brahimi at the University of Science and Technology Houari Boumediène, Algiers, where I completed my Magister’s studies. To my brothers, Racim and Camil, and to every member of my family and to m
