Abstract
The lineshape of the v=0-1 vibrational mode in the high resolution ele ctron energy loss spectrum of physisorbed O2 on Pt (111) shows discret e loss peaks attributed to a low frequency molecule-surface vibration and its overtones. The energy and angular dependence of these vibratio ns is consistent with the molecular negative ion resonance mechanism p redicted by Gadzuk.
