Photoelectron angular distributions from H2 and D2

The photoelectron asymmetry parameters of H₂ and D₂ have been measured using synchrotron radiation over the photon energy range 19–27 eV. The results are compared with previous measurements and several theoretical calculations. A few of the theoretical calculations are in good agreement with experiment, but most of them predict asymmetries which are too large. Essentially identical β values were measured for H₂ and D₂. This result is discussed in terms of differences which could arise due to vibrational and rotational structure.     

Spatial and speed distributions of H2 and D2 desorbed from a polycrystalline nickel surface

The desorption of hydrogen (H₂ and D₂) from a polycrystalline nickel surface has been investigated by measuring the spatial and speed distributions of the desorbed molecules. The Ni specimen was constructed as a membrane with one side exposed to hydrogen at ~ 1 atm pressure and the other side exposed to vacuum, thereby enabling us to supply hydrogen to the test surface via permeation of atoms through the membrane. These atoms recombine on the surface to form molecules that desorb into the evacuated chamber. The spatial distribution of the desorbed molecules was measured with a rotatable ionization gauge, whereas the speed distribution of molecules desorbed along the surface normal was determined by means of a time-of-flight detector in a second apparatus.     

Scattering of N2 from Ni(111)

A cold (T_rot<10 K) beam of N₂ with an initial translational energy of 0.40 eV strikes an Ni(111) surface at surface temperatures from 300 to 873 K at several incident angles from 15 to 60°. The rotational energy and angular distributions of the scattered molecules are probed using (2+1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. Molecules scattered in the specular direction have mean rotational energies that are independent of surface temperature, whereas those scattered at angles far from the specular show a dependence on surface temperature, caused likely by multiple collisions with the surface before escape. A rotational rainbow, seen in systems such as CO–Ni(111) and N₂–Ag(111), is not seen in this system. For molecules that scatter close to the specular direction, approximately 10% of the initial translational energy is converted into rotational energy of the scattered N₂. For surface temperatures above room temperature, the angular distributions indicate that molecules that scatter into low-J states also tend to exit in a broad peak (10–20° FWHM) near the specular, and this peak is broadened with increasing incident angle. The molecules that scatter into high-J states have a much broader distribution, indicating that they are trapped rotationally during the initial collision and suffer multiple collisions before leaving the surface.     

Dynamics of interaction of H2 and D2 with Ni(110) and Ni(110) surfaces

Elastic and direct-inelastic scattering as well as dissociative adsorption and associative desorption of H₂ and D₂ on Ni(110) and Ni(111) surfaces were studied by molecular beam techniques. Inelastic scattering at the molecular potential is dominated by phonon interactions. With Ni(110), dissociative adsorption occurs with nearly unity sticking probability s₀, irrespective of surface temperature T_s and mean kinetic energy normal to the surface 〈 E_⊥ 〉. The desorbing molecules exhibit a cos θ_e angular distribution indicating full thermal accommodation of their translation energy. With Ni(111), on the other hand, s₀ is only about 0.05 if both the gas and the surface are at room temperature. s₀ is again independent of T_s, but increases continuously with 〈 E⊥ 〉 up to a value of ～0.4 for 〈 E⊥ 〉 = 0.12 eV. The cos⁵θ_e angular distribution of desorbing molecules indicates that in this case they carry off excess translational energy. The results are qualitatively rationalized in terms of a two-dimensional potential diagram with an activation barrier in the entrance channel. While the height of this barrier seems to be negligible for Ni(110), it is about 0.1 eV for Ni(111) and can be overcome through high enough translational energy by direct collision. The results show no evidence for intermediate trapping in a molecular “precursor” state on the clean surfaces, but this effect may play a role at finite coverages.     

A molecular-beam investigation of the scattering,adsorption and absorption of H2 and D2 from/on/in Pd(111)

H₂ and D₂ are scattered from clean Pd(111) and a saturated chemisorption layer in a highly specular distribution. Evidence for an ordering of the adiayer with increasing coverage is seen. The hydrogen-deuterium exchange occurs via a Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, and the temperature dependence of the rate of HD production can be understood without assuming an activation energy for equilibration. Lock-in and wave-form analyses of scattered H₂ + D₂ mixed beams show that equilibrium between adsorbed hydrogen and deuterium and that dissolved just below the surface is reached rapidly at temperatures above 300 K.     

Lyman transitions of high rovibrationally excited H2, HD and D2 molecules

Energies and probabilities of Lyman transitions of high rovibrationally excited H₂, HD and D₂ molecules have been measured and compared with calculations. The experimental results are obtained from laser-induced fluorescence spectra that have been recorded in the spectral range from 60 500 to 83 500 cm⁻¹, covering 2/3 of the hydrogen Lyman band system. The necessary vacuum-UV radiation is produced by stimulated anti-Stokes Raman scattering, providing a widely tunable radiation source with narrow spectral bandwidth to resolve single Lyman transitions. The highest internal energies of detected hydrogen isotopologues are close to the dissociation limit. This extends the available data base of Lyman transitions from and to higher rotational states (J > 10) of HD and D₂.     

Adsorption studies on a stepped Pt(111) surface: O2, CO,C2H4, C2N2

A comparative study of the adsorption of several gases on a Pt(S)-[9(111) × (111)] surface was performed using LEED, Auger spectroscopy, flash desorption mass spectrometry and work function changes as surface sensitive techniques. Adsorption was found to be generally less ordered on the stepped surface than on the corresponding flat surface with the exception of the oxygen, where r well ordered overlayer in registry over many terraces was found. Absolute coverages were determined from flash desorption experiments for O₂, CO and C₂N₂. Similar values were obtained as on flat Pt surfaces. Two different surface species seem to be formed upon adsorption of C₂H₄ depending on the adsorption temperature. Contrary to reports from Pt(111) surfaces conversion between the two surface species is heavily restricted on the stepped surface. Work function changes revealed nonlinear adsorbate effects where the adsorbate is electronegative with respect to the substrate. Various adsorption models are discussed in the light of complementary experimental evidence. The results of this study are compared with data available from flat Pt surfaces and possible influences of steps are discussed. No general trends, however, emerge from this comparison and it seems that eventual influences of steps have to be considered individually for every adsorbate.     

Photoemission from Ni0.84Cu0.16(111): Observation of surface energy band dispersion

Angle-resolved photoemission spectra have been obtained for annealed Ni_0.84Cu_0.16(111) single crystals. Emission peaks 1.8–4.0 eV below the Fermi energy are attributed to electronic states of the Cu-rich surface layer. The measured dispersion of these peaks is in close correspondence with the calculated energy bands of a free Cu (111) monolayer. Ni-derived bulk transitions are also identified.     

Leed and thermal desorption studies of small molecules (H2, O2, CO,CO2, NO,C2H4, C2H2 AND C) chemisorbed on the rhodium (111) and (100) surfaces

The chemisorption of H₂, O₂, CO, CO₂, NO, C₂H₄, C₂H₂ and C has been studied on the clean Rh(111) and (100) surfaces. LEED, AES and thermal desorption were used to determine the surface structures, disordering and desorption temperatures, displacement and decomposition characteristics for each species. All of the molecules studied readily chemisorbed on both surfaces. A large variety of ordered structures was observed, especially on the (111) surface. The disordering temperatures of most ordered surface structures on the (111) surface were below 100°C. It was necessary to adsorb the gases at 25° C or below in order to obtain well-ordered surface structures. Chemisorbed oxygen was readily removed from the surface by H₂ or CO gas at crystal temperatures above 50°C. CO₂ appears to dissociate to CO upon adsorption on both rhodium surfaces as indicated by the identical ordering and desorption characteristics of these two molecules. C₂H₄ and C₂H₂ also had very similar ordering and desorption characteristics and it is likely that the adsorbed species formed by both molecules is the same. Decomposition of ethylene produced a sequence of ordered carbon surface structures on the (111) face as a result of a bulk-surface carbon equilibrium. The chemisorption properties of rhodium appear to be generally similar to those of iridium, nickel and palladium.     

The kinetics of D2 desorption from Ni(110) (2 × 1)C in the presence of reactive intermediates

A kinetic study of D₂ formation from HCOOD decomposition on Ni(110) (2 × 1)C was performed using the flash desorption technique. The surface structure and surface composition were monitored by low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Flash curves were obtained using initial coverage and heating rate variations. D₂ formation exhibited a single second-order rate-determining step. Three different techniques were employed in obtaining the activation energy, two of which did not require the assumption of reaction order. Using an average value of 12.6 kcal/mole for the activation energy the pre-exponential factor was calculated to be 2.7 × 10^?4 cm² molecules^?1 sec^?1. Good agreement was achieved with the theoretically generated second-order flash curves only up to the peak temperature. The discrepancy on the high temperature side was explained using the model proposed by Clavenna and Schmidt utilizing a coverage dependent pre-exponential factor.     

Interaction of PH3 coadsorbed with H2, D2, O2 and H2O on Rh(100)

The coadsorption of PH₃ with H₂, D₂, O₂ and H₂O on Rh(100) has been studied using temperature programmed desorption (TPD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). The adsorption and molecular desorption of PH₃ is not affected by preadsorbed H₂, D₂ and O₂. Preadsorbed PH₃ blocks H₂ desorption sites while postdosed PH₃ displaces H₂ (D₂₁) from the Rh(100). When D₂ and PH₃ are coadsorbed, no D appears in desorbed phosphine. Preadsorbed O₂ reduces the amount of H₂ desorption (from PH₃ decomposition) and increases the H₂ desorption temperature. There is also some reaction between O(a) and H(a) to form water. Preexposure to H₂O decreases the extent of PH₃ adsorption and of PH₃ decomposition.

The chemisorption of CO,CO2, C2H2, C2H4, H2 and NH3 on the clean Fe(100) and (111) crystal surfaces

The chemisorption of small molecules (CO, CO₂, C₂H₂, C₂H₄, H₂ and NH₃) has been studied on the clean Fe(110) and (111) crystal faces by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and thermal desorption. C₂H₄ and C₂H₂ yield the same sequence of surface structures that change with temperature and crystal orientation. CO and CO₂ chemisorption similarly results in the formation of the same types of surface structures that change with surface temperature and crystal orientation. Ammonia forms several ordered surface structures on both iron crystal faces. All of the molecules decompose as a function of temperature on the iron surfaces as indicated by the Auger and thermal desorption spectra.

Translational energy release in the recombinative desorption of H2 from Ag(111)

We have investigated the recombinative desorption of H₂ from Ag(111) using (2 + 1) REMPI to detect the desorbing molecules. We describe a method for determining the energy released into translational motion normal to the surface over a wide range of surface temperatures. This was achieved by using a weak electric field to disperse the ions, in contrast to the usual field-free method. Calibration and analysis methods are discussed and energy distributions P(E) are reported for H₂ (v=0). Desorption from a 295 K surface shows only a single low-energy peak ( ), whereas the translational energy release is bimodal for desorption from a 580 K surface, with mean desorption energies of approximately 140 meV and 1 eV for the two pathways. Sticking functions are calculated using detailed balance, revealing a large dependence on surface temperature.     

On the nature of the SO4/Ag(111) and SO4/Au(111) surface bonding

The nature of sulfate-Ag(111) and sulfate-Au(111) surface bonding has been investigated at the SCF + MP2 level of theory. Convergence of binding energy with cluster size is investigated and, unlike neutral adsorbates, large clusters are required in order to obtain reliable binding energies. In the most stable adsorption mode, sulfate binds to the surface via three oxygen atoms (C_3v symmetry) with a binding energy of 159.3 kcal/mol on Ag(111) and 143.9 kcal/mol on Au(111). The geometry of adsorbed sulfate was optimized at the SCF level. While the bond length between sulfur and the oxygens coordinated to the surface increases, the sulfur-uncoordinated oxygen bond length decreases. This weakening and strengthening of the bonds, respectively, is consistent with bond order conservation in adsorbates on metal surfaces. Although a charge transfer of 0.4 electrons towards the metal is observed, the adsorbate remains very much sulfate-like. The molecular orbital analysis indicates that there is also some charge back-donation towards unoccupied orbitals of sulfate. This results in an increased electron density around sulfur as revealed in the electron density difference maps. Analysis of the Laplacian of the charge density of free sulfate provides a suitable framework to understand the nature of the different charge transfer processes and allows us to establish some similarities with the CO- and SO₂-metal bondings.
