Empty Orbitals of Adsorbates Determined by Inverse UV-Photoemission.

Abstract

We have determined the position of the lowest empty orbitals of CO and O chemisorbed on Ni(111) by inverse photo-emission in the ultraviolet. The 2 pi orbital of CO is lowered by 4.5eV upon chemisorption and broadened to a 5.5eV wide resonance centered 3.5eV above E sub F. Chemisorbed oxygen has a sharp 2p state at 0.5eV above E sub F in agreement with band calculations. This state disappears upon oxide formation. (Author)
