Surface Reflectance Core Spectroscopy of Halogens, Rare Gases, Alkalis and Carbon-Monoxide on Metal Surfaces

Abstract

dc:description

Reflectivity spectra for the halogens, rare gases, alkalis and the CO molecule adsorbed on metal and insulating surfaces are described. This research employed synchrotron radiation in the energy range from 4 to 20 eV, using both s and p polarized light. Results for adsorbates in three neighboring columns of the Periodic Table principally reveal charge transfer processes and properties of the impurity surface complex.
