Charging of metal adatoms on ultrathin oxide films: Au and Pd on FeO/Pt(111).
We present a combined experimental (STM/scanning tunneling spectroscopy) and theoretical (density functional theory) study on the deposition of Au and Pd metal atoms on FeO/Pt(111) ultrathin films. We show that while the Pd atoms are only slightly oxidized, the Au atoms form positive ions upon deposition, at variance to a charge transfer into the Au atoms as observed for MgO/Ag(100). The modula...
متن کاملBand Bending in Mg-Colored and O2‐Activated Ultrathin MgO(001) Films
Ultrathin MgO films grown on Ag(001) have been investigated using X-ray and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopies for oxide films successively exposed to Mg and O2 flux. Studying work functions and layer-resolved Auger shifts allows us to keep track of band profiles from the oxide surface to the interface and reveal the charge-transfer mechanisms underlying the controlled creation of Mg-indu...
متن کاملProperties of alkali metal atoms deposited on a MgO surface: a systematic experimental and theoretical study.
The adsorption of small amounts of alkali metal atoms (Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) on the surface of MgO powders and thin films has been studied by means of EPR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. From a comparison of the measured and computed g values and hyperfine coupling constants (hfccs), a tentative assignment of the preferred adsorption sites is proposed. All atoms bind preferentially to surfa...
متن کاملIdentification of defect sites on MgO(100) thin films by decoration with Pd atoms and studying CO adsorption properties.
CO adsorption on Pd atoms deposited on MgO(100) thin films has been studied by means of thermal desorption (TDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. CO desorbs from the adsorbed Pd atoms at a temperature of about 250 K, which corresponds to a binding energy, E(b), of about 0.7 +/- 0.1 eV. FTIR spectra suggest that at saturation two different sites for CO adsorption exist on a ...
متن کاملFirst Principles Study of CO Adsorption on Atomic Pd Supported on Metal Oxide Surfaces (ZrO2(110), MgO(100), CeO2(110))
We have performed density functional theory (DFT) quantum periodic calculations to investigate the interaction between atomic Pd and oxide surfaces of ZrO2(110), MgO(100), and CeO2(110). In this calculation, Pd adsorption energy on the surface oxygen atom sites of those oxide surfaces correlated with the position of the d electron density center of Pd atom except for on the surface metal atom s...
