Abstract: | Auger electron emission spectra have been observed for lithium hydride in three conditions : (1) cleaved in vacuum, (2) prepared by the reaction of hydrogen gas with clean lithium metal, and (3) by annealing slightly oxidized lithium hydride single crystals in vacuum. The dominant Auger line (40 ± 1 eV) was found to be a KVV transition involving valence electrons from the anion and was indistinguishable from a similar transition for lithium oxide at room temperature. Lithium hydride surfaces lose hydrogen in vacuum causing the formation of a lithium metal phase at room temperature and a significant reduction in surface hydride stoichiometry at 600°C. |
