B. Gleich et al., CORRELATION BETWEEN LOCAL SUBSTRATE STRUCTURE AND LOCAL CHEMICAL-PROPERTIES - CO ADSORPTION ON WELL-DEFINED BIMETALLIC AU PD(111) SURFACES/, Surface science, 386(1-3), 1997, pp. 48-55
The modification in CO-metal interaction due to adsorption on differen
t bifunctional sites on a Au/Pd(111) bimetallic surface was identified
by high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, Anger electron
spectroscopy and atomic resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy imag
ing. By comparison of surfaces with systematically varied morphology a
nd local composition we could distinguish between CO adsorption on Pd(
111) sites, Au island edge sites and mixed PdAu surface sites and this
way establish a clear correlation between local structure and local c
hemical behavior. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
