Electron Spectroscopic Determination of the Electronic, Geometric and Chemisorption Properties of Oxide Surfaces

  • Chapter
Surfaces and Interfaces of Ceramic Materials

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 173))

Abstract

The electronic and geometric properties of both nearly perfect and defect metal oxide surfaces have been studied by using surface sensitive electron spectroscopic techniques such as photoemission, electron energy loss spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction, etc. and single crystal samples cleaved in ultrahigh vacuum; surface defects are created by ion or electron bombardment or thermal treatment. The use of such well characterized ceramic samples permits a determination of the physical and chemical properties of their surfaces on the atomic scale. The geometric structure of defect free oxide surfaces is nearly a termination of the bulk crystal structure, and their electronic structure is usually similar to that of the bulk. Maximal valence oxides are quite inert with respect to molecular adsorption. The interaction of sub-oxide surfaces with molecules, on the other hand, exhibits a wide range of behavior. Point defects on surfaces are the active sites for chemisorption and exhibit electronic structures very different from those of perfect surfaces.
