Abstract

High resolution electron energy loss spectra of hydrogen adsorbed on Ru(001) have been obtained. At saturation, two losses at 105 and 138 meV are found (67 and 103 meV for deuterium); the lower energy peak shifts with coverage. Measurements away from the specular direction suggest that the main loss mechanism is impact scattering. It is concluded that H on Ru(001) sits in the two types of threefold hollow sites, and the two losses are due to the symmetric out-of-plane and the asymmetric in-plane vibrations, as has been observed for H on Ni(111) and Pt(111) by other workers. The energy change of the lower loss may be caused by the difference between H in fcc and hcp sites whose relative occupation changes with coverage.
