The Pd(100)-(root 5 x root 5)R27 degrees-O surface oxide revisited
Author
Summary, in English
Combining high-resolution core-level spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy and density-functional theory calculations we reanalyze the Pd(100)-(root5 x root5)R27degrees-O surface oxide phase. We find that the prevalent structural model, a rumpled PdO(001) film suggested by previous low energy electron diffraction (LEED) work [Surf. Sci. 494 (2001) L799], is incompatible with all three employed methods. Instead, we suggest the two-dimensional film to consist of a strained PdO(101) layer on top of Pd(100). LEED intensity calculations show that this model is compatible with the experimental data of Saidy et al. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
