N. Pangher et al., STRUCTURE DETERMINATION OF WATER CHEMISORBED ON NI(110) BY USE OF X-RAY-ABSORPTION FINE-STRUCTURE MEASUREMENTS, Chemical physics letters, 221(3-4), 1994, pp. 189-193
Polarization-dependent surface-extended X-ray-absorption fine-structur
e studies on the Ni(110)-c(2x2)-H2O system show that water absorbs via
the 0 atom in atop sites with a nearest-neigbour O-Ni bond length of
2.06 +/- 0.03 angstrom. Corresponding near-edge absorption data sugges
t that the H-O-H plane is inclined to the surface normal.
