Abstract
Analysis of scanned-energy mode photoelectron diffraction data from NO adso rbed on NiO(100) confirms that both components of the N 1s photoemission do ublet observed for this system do originate from the same surface species, and provides a quantitative determination of the local adsorption geometry. NO is found to adsorb N atom down ontop a Ni atom, with a N-Ni bond length of 1.88+/-0.02 Angstrom. The N-O bond is tilted away from the surface norm al by 59(+31/-17)degrees.
