Abstract
The adsorption of tert-butyl nitrite, (CH3)(3)CONO, on Ag(111) at 85 K is studied by thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) and X-ray photoel ectron spectroscopy (XPS). Tert-butyl nitrite was found to adsorb reve rsibly, and with increasing exposure, first the saturation of the mono layer occurred, and subsequently, multilayers were formed. The stickin g coefficient was found to be coverage-independent. The desorption ene rgies are around 0.42 eV in both the monolayer and multilayer regime. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
