R. Lindsay et al., Molecules on oxide surfaces: a quantitative structural determination of NOadsorbed on NiO(100), SURF SCI, 425(2-3), 1999, pp. L401-L406
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. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserve
