Coadsorption of anions and ultra-thin metal films on single crystal electrodes

This thesis describes results of a combined ultra-high vacuum (UHV)-electrochemistry instrument for structual and compositional surface analysis of anions and ultra-thin metallic films of copper and silver deposited on single crystal electrodes. The anion and metal coverages from the Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) measurements were compared with results obtained by in situ radiochemical and electrochemical data. Using Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED), the structures of anions/underpotential deposition (UPD) admetals were characterized in different electrodes and electrolytes. For the first time, it was shown that core-level electron energy loss spectra (CEELS) from adsorbed atomic and ionic adsorbates were electrode potential dependent.
