Activity 3: Adsorbates and the single scattering approach#

Oxygen on Rh(001)#

-

In a paper published in 1998, T. Gerber et al. used the quite high backscattering factor of Rhodium atoms to probe -the distance of Oxygen atoms adsorbed on a Rhodium surface. Some electrons coming from Oxygen atoms are ejected -toward the Rhodium surface. They are then backscattered and interfere with the direct signal comming from Oxygen atoms (see the figure below). They demonstrated both experimentally and numerically with a sinle scattering computation that this lead to a very accurate probe of adsorbed species that can be sensitive to bond length changes of the order of
