Abstract

The adsorption of CO and O on Ni (111) was studied by low-energy ion scattering (ISS) and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). For the ordered (√7/2) × (√7/2) R19.1° CO layer ion scattering gives a coverage greater than 1 2 monolayer, and for the (2 × 2) O layer a coverage of 1 4 monolayer. The CO is non-dissociatively adsorbed, with the C bound to the Ni. The molecules are oriented parallel to the surface normal. Island formation at lower CO coverages is possible.
