An Electron Spectroscopic Study of the Cobalt(101̄2)-Oxygen Interaction: Chemisorption Properties, Oxide Growth and Oxidation States of the Surface Metal Ions

The interaction of oxygen with the stepped (101̄2) surface of cobalt has been investigated over a range of temperature (300–800 K) and pressure (10 −7 −10 +1 Torr) by XPS, UPS and LEED. After completion of a layer of chemisorbed atoms, oxygen uptake proceeds by the nucleation and growth of CoO. An e...
