| Abstract: | The successive stages of the oxidation of Ni(100) have been investigated by angle-resolved uv photoemission. The adsorption spectra are very similar to that measured previously for the same surface saturated with sulphur. Results are interpreted using recent theoretical calculations. It is found that this interpretation can be extended to the other chalcogens adsorbed on Ni(100). When increasing oxygen exposures, photoemission spectra have shown a continuity of the electronic character in the oxidation process. |
