Surface Optical Excitations Associated with CO Chemisorption on Ni (III).
Abstract
Surface optical excitations associated with CO chemisorption on Ni (111) have been studied using surface reflectance spectroscopy (SRS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (ELS). SRS measurements using s- and p-polarized light in the photon energy range 4-35 eV are analyzed using a simple dielectric model to deduce surface optical transitions. A comparison of the SRS and ELS results for CO/Ni (111) with the optical excitations in gas and solid phase CO and in transition metal carbonyls reveals correlations in spectral structure which are used as a basis to suggest possible identifications of the surface optical transitions.
