Surface X-ray diffraction has been employed to elucidate the surface structure of α-CrO(0001) as a function of water partial pressure at room temperature. In ultra high vacuum, following exposure to ∼2000 Langmuir of HO, the surface is found to be terminated by a partially occupied double layer of chromium atoms. No evidence of adsorbed OH/HO is found, which is likely due to either adsorption at minority sites, or X-ray induced desorption. At a water partial pressure of ∼30 mbar, a single OH/HO species is found to be bound atop each surface Cr atom. This adsorption geometry does not agree with that predicted by calculations, which may be a result of some differences between the experimental conditions and those modeled.
利用表面X射线衍射来阐明α-CrO(0001)在室温下作为水蒸气压函数的表面结构。在超高真空下,暴露于约2000朗缪尔的HO后,发现表面由部分占据的铬原子双层终止。未发现吸附的OH/HO的证据,这可能是由于在少数位点吸附,或X射线诱导解吸。在约30毫巴的水蒸气压下,发现每个表面Cr原子顶部结合有单个OH/HO物种。这种吸附几何结构与计算预测的不一致,这可能是实验条件与建模条件之间存在一些差异的结果。
