Intermixing in the Na on Al(111) system
- 1992

In: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007. ; 68:1, s. 94-97
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Ordered structures formed by Na adsorption on the Al(111) surface are investigated by high-resolution core-level spectroscopy. It is shown that, contrary to the common picture of alkali adsorption, two of the structures formed at room temperature consist of intermixed Na-Al layers. The results for the (3 ×)-rotated-30°structure are also consistent with intermixing although they do not provide any definite proof. For Na layers deposited at 100 K no intermixing is found.

Surface core-level shifts of the Al(100) and Al(111) surfaces
- 1991

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The surface core-level shifts of the Al(100) and Al(111) surfaces have been measured by high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy. For the Al(100) surface we obtain a value of (-965) meV. This value is in excellent agreement with a recent ab initio calculation by Feibelman. The surface core-level shift of the Al(111) surface is found to be close to zero, and an upper limit of 15 meV is obtained.

Polarisation-dependent X-ray absorption in high- and low-Tc Bi2Sr2Can-1CunO4+2n superconductors
- 1993

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Taking advantage of the linear polarisation of synchrotron radiation, the polarisation dependence of the O K and Cu L3 X-ray absorption edges has been compared for in situ cleaved Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 and Bi2Sr2CuO6 single crystals. The X-ray absorption spectra were measured by means of total electron yield detection. The spectra show for both crystals that the lowest unoccupied Cu 3d and O 2p orbitals are dominantly oriented parallel to the a-b plane, but also the presence of a small amount of unoccupied orbitals oriented perpendicular to the a-b plane can be deduced from both the O K and Cu L3 absorption spectra. A shift of the order of 0.5 eV between absorption into the in-plane and the out-of-plane Cu 3d orbitals was measured for the Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 crystal, but no such shift was found for the Bi2Sr2CuO6 crystal.

M4,5N4,5N4,5 Auger decay spectra of the resonantly excited 3d94f configuration of xenonlike ions in solids
- 1994
-
In: Physical Review B (Condensed Matter). - 0163-1829. ; 49:21, s. 14836-14844
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The synchrotron-radiation-induced Auger and photoelectron spectra of the xenonlike ions I- (in CsI), Cs+ (in CsI), Ba2+ (in BaF2), and La3+ (in LaF3) have been measured in the vicinity of the M4,5 absorption edges of these ions. It is shown that the spectra of La and Ba measured at 3d10→3d94f resonances exhibit a very intense 4f-spectator structure which changes its energy and intensity with the energy of the exciting photons. Calculation of the Auger decay of the 3d-14f configuration shows that this structure is due to transitions to the 4d-24f+4p-1 final ionic configuration, the high-energy part of which overlaps the 4d-2 continuum. In the case of Ba this structure coexists with the normal Auger structure which appears as a result of the M4M5N6,7 Coster-Kronig transitions. The spectra of I- contain only the normal M4,5N4,5N4,5 Auger structure related to the 3d-1→4d-2 transitions. The spectra of Cs+ are similar to those of I- with a small admixture of the 4f-spectator-like structure.

Alkali metal adsorption on Al(111)
- 1993
-
In: Surface Science. - : Elsevier BV. - 0039-6028. ; 289:3, s. 307-334
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The submonolayer adsorption of Na, K, Rb, and Cs on the Al(111) surface at 100 K and at room temperature is investigated by high resolution core level spectroscopy and low energy electron diffraction. It is found that the first alkali atoms on the surface adsorb at surface defects. At higher coverages, up to approximately one third of the maximum submonolayer coverage, alkali atoms adsorbed at defects coexist with a dispersed phase. At higher coverages island formation is found to occur for the majority of the systems. It is argued that all of the ordered structures formed at room temperature involve a disruption of the Al(111) surface in contrast to the situation at 100 K where the alkali atoms adsorb as adatoms.

Changes in the local surface geometry with conserved adsorbate coverage and long-range order caused by annealing
- 1992
-
In: Physical Review B (Condensed Matter). - 0163-1829. ; 46:19, s. 12784-12787
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The ordered c(2×2) Na on Al(100) and (3 × 3) R30°K on Al(111) structures formed at either 100 K or at room temperature are studied by high-resolution core-level spectroscopy. For both systems equal alkali coverages are found at these two temperatures. The core-level spectra, however, show strong changes with temperature. This behavior leads to the surprising conclusion that annealing at room temperature causes an irreversible change in the local geometry, i.e., of the adsorption site, of the overlayer even though neither the long-range order nor the adsorbate coverage changes.

Surface core-level shifts as a probe of the local overlayer structure : CO on Pd(100)
- 1991
-
In: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007. ; 67:20, s. 2822-2825
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The bonding energies of the Pd 3d and the C 1s core levels have been studied for the p(2 S 2 × 2) R45°, p(3 s2 × S2) R45°, and p(4 S 2 × S 2) R45°structures of CO on Pd(100). Adsorption of CO shifts the Pd 3d surface emission to higher binding energies with the magnitude of the shift depending almost linearly on the number of Pd to CO bonds; the measured shift per bond is close to 0.5 eV. A direct relation is established between the detailed geometry of the CO overlayer and the changes in the Pd 3d spectra.

Alkali core-level binding-energy shifts in alkali/4d-metal interface systems
- 1994
-
In: Physical Review B (Condensed Matter). - 0163-1829. ; 50:7, s. 4711-4717
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Photoemission from different alkali core levels (Na 2p, K 3p, Rb 4p, and Cs 4d) has been studied for thin alkali films deposited on four different 4d metal surfaces: Mo(110), Rh(111), Rh(110), and Pd(100). Alkali atoms at the interface, the bulk, and at the surface of the adsorbed alkali film are found to have different core-level binding energies. It is found that the core-level binding-energy shifts of the alkali metals induced by the 4d-metal substrate increase with increasing atomic number of the alkali metal and with increasing atomic number of the 4d metal. Thermodynamical quantities such as interface segregation energies and adhesion energies are deduced from the layer-resolved shifts. Estimates of the experimental binding-energy shifts are given using semiempirical calculations, and certain complications in doing that are discussed.

Layer dependent core level binding energy shifts : Na, K, Rb and Cs on Al(111)
- 1993
-
In: Surface Science. - 0039-6028. ; 281:1-2, s. 83-90
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Layer resolved core level spectra are presented for Na, K, Rb and Cs films on Al(111). From the development of the spectra, it is possible to distinguish emission from alkali atoms at the interface, in the bulk, and at the surface of the adsorbed layers. The core level binding energy shifts are discussed in terms of adhesion and interface segregation energies. It is found experimentally that the Al induced core level binding energy shifts of the alkalis are increasing with increasing atomic number of the alkali metal. This trend is qualitatively reproduced by semi-empirical calculations.

Unified behavior of alkali core-level binding-energy shifts induced by sp metals
- 1997
-
In: Physical Review B (Condensed Matter). - 0163-1829. ; 56:19, s. 12560-12565
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Thin overlayers of Na, K. Rb, and Cs on different sp-metal substrates have been investigated using photo-electron spectroscopy. The alkali core levels show clearly resolved binding-energy shifts between the surface layer, the intermediate layer(s), and the interface layer. The magnitude of these shifts depends on sp metal and on alkali metal. The layer-resolved core-level binding-energy shifts are well reproduced by models based on a thermodynamical description. For three-layer alkali films the core-level binding energy of the intermediate layer is found to exhibit a small but significant shift between different sp-metal substrates. A simple relationship between the core-level binding-energy shift for the interface layer and the difference in rs value between the sp substrate and the adsorbate is shown to exist.
