Surface Core - Level Shifts at an oxygen - rich Ru Surface :
نویسنده
چکیده
We present density-functional theory calculations of Ru 3d and O 1s surface core-level shifts (SCLSs) at an oxygen-rich Ru(0001) surface, namely for the O(1× 1)/Ru(0001) chemisorption phase and for two surface terminations of fully oxidized RuO2(110). Including final-state effects, the computed SCLSs can be employed for the analysis of experimental X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data enabling a detailed study of the oxidation behaviour of the Ru(0001) surface. We show that certain peaks can be used as a fingerprint for the existence of the various phases and propose that the long disputed satellite peak in RuO2(110) XPS data originates from a hitherto unaccounted surface termination.

O- and H-induced surface core level shifts on Ru(0001): prevalence of the additivity rule.
In previous work on adsorbate-induced surface core level shifts (SCLSs), the effects caused by O atom adsorption on Rh(111) and Ru(0001) were found to be additive: the measured shifts for first-layer Ru atoms depended linearly on the number of directly coordinated O atoms. Density-functional theory calculations quantitatively reproduced this effect, allowed separation of initial- and final-stat...
متن کاملElectronic Interactions in Bimetallic Systems: An X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic Study
The electronic interactions in Cu/Rh( loo), Cu/Ru(OOOI), Ni/Ru(0001), Ni/W( 1 lo), and Pd/W( 1 IO) have been examined by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The shifts in core-level binding energies indicate that the adatoms in a monolayer of Ni, Cu, or Pd are electronically perturbed with respect to the surface atoms of Ni(100), Cu( IOO), or Pd(100). The magnitude of the electroni...
متن کاملNon-local Effects on Oxygen-Induced Surface Core Level Shifts of Re(0001)
The electronic structure of clean and oxygencovered Re(0001) was investigated by combining high energy resolution core level photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory. For the clean surface, we detect two distinct Re 4f7/2 components shifted by 95 meV, which we ascribe to photoemission from the bulk and the top layer of the crystal. Oxygen adsorption at room temperature leads to ...
متن کاملInteraction of Ultrathin Films of Cu with Rh ( 100 ) and Ru ( 0001 ) : An XPS Study
The interaction of ultrathin fdms of Cu with Rh(100) and Ru(0001) has been examined by using X-ray photoelectron spectrapcopy (XPS). The effects of surface annealing temperature, adsorbate coverage (film thickness), and CO chemisorption were investigated. The XPS data show that the atoms in a monolayer of Cu supported on Rh( 100) or Ru(0001) are electronically perturbed with respect to the surf...
متن کاملAb initio calculations of the O1s XPS spectra of ZnO and Zn oxo compounds.
O1s core level binding energies of oxygen atoms in bulk ZnO, at different ZnO surfaces, and in some Zn oxo compounds were calculated by means of wave function based quantum chemical ab initio methods. Initial and final state effects were obtained by Koopmans' theorem and at the DeltaSCF level, respectively. After correction for scalar relativistic effects and electron correlation, the calculate...
