The structure of sulfur adlayer and the formation process of Cu 2 S layer on Cu(111) were investigated using in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in alkaline solution. In situ STM revealed two different structures of the sulfur adlayer, (3 X 3)R30° and (19 × 19), in the double-layer potential region. The (3 × 3)R30° structure observed at negative potentials was transformed into (19 × 19) upon sweeping the potential in the positive direction. The (19 X 19) structure consisted of well-ordered triangular domains separated by boundaries running along the direction. In each triangular domain of (19 × 19), sulfur atoms were found to form a (√3 X √3)R30° structure. Characteristic hexagonal rings consisting of six sulfur atoms were observed at intersections of the domain boundaries of (19 X 19). At anodic potentials, layers of Cu 2 S were epitaxially formed on Cu(111), on which a (√7 X √7)R19.1° structure was observed.
