| 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 for grain size growth. The foil was cut into smaller pieces and polished, with incrementally finer grid, down to a 1 µm using diamond suspension. |
| In situ preparation | Ar+ sputter and annealing cycles for cleaning. The reference spectra are measured directly after sputtering in UHV |
