Evidence for the Conformation of H2O Adsorbed on Ru(001).

Abstract

The Electron Stimulated Desorption Ion Angular Distributions (ESDIAD) method has been used to study the adsorption of H2O by Ru(001). The results indicate that chemisorbed, undissociated H2O is bonded to Ru via the oxygen atom, and that interactions between neighboring molecules occur as coverage increases. The utility of ESDIAD for structure determination in the absence of long range order is demonstrated. (Author)
