A palladium surface has been studied at atomic resolution by scanning tunneling microscopy in a controlled gaseous atmosphere. A comparative analysis was made of the surface of a palladium sample which was subjected to sequential heat treatment in atmospheres of oxygen and hydrogen and the surface of untreated palladium.
