| Ex situ preparation | Quantitative amounts of the Ag (slugs 3×3mm, 99.99%) and Pd (granules <7mm, 99.95%) purchased from EvoChem were melted in a light oven, with a four times re-melting process for homogenization. Afterwards the alloy was cold-rolled to a 1.6 mm thick foil and then annealed for 6h at 800°C to promote grain growth. The foil was cut into smaller pieces and mechanically polished step by step until a roughness 200 nm, by using an aluminium oxide polishing suspension as abrasive. |
| In situ preparation | Ar+ sputter and annealing (in O2) cycles to clean the sample. The last step was Ar+ sputtering |
