High-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy was used to investigate alkali (Na, K) coadsorption with CO and O on Cu(111) and Ni(111). Measurements provided new insights in these systems. A CO-induced weakening of the alkali-substrate bond was revealed on both substrates. The effect is more pronounced for the Na + CO/Ni(111) system. Submonolayers of alkalis were found to promote the preferential population of the subsurface site for O/Cu(111) but not for O/Ni(111).

Abstract

High-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy was used to investigate alkali (Na, K) coadsorption with CO and O on Cu(111) and Ni(111). Measurements provided new insights in these systems. A CO-induced weakening of the alkali-substrate bond was revealed on both substrates. The effect is more pronounced for the Na + CO/Ni(111) system. Submonolayers of alkalis were found to promote the preferential population of the subsurface site for O/Cu(111) but not for O/Ni(111).
