The oxygen adsorption on the Fe͑110͒ surface has been studied by spin-and angular-resolved photoemission and low-energy electron diffraction techniques. At very low coverage, oxygen adsorbs in a sequence of well-defined ordered structures: a c(2ϫ2) followed by a c(3ϫ1). For the c(2ϫ2) overlayer the oxygen bands show hardly any dispersion along the ͓11 0͔ direction of the surface Brillouin zone. A slightly larger dispersion is instead detected for the c(3ϫ1) overlayer. In both cases, the two-dimensional models for the oxygen 2 p-derived bands do not seem to be appropriate. The spin-resolved data suggest a considerable interaction with the Fe substrate. A relatively large exchange splitting (⌬ ex ϭ0.3 eV) is induced on the oxygen 2p bands, indicating a local magnetic moment on the oxygen sites. The considerably different line shape of the O 2p emission in the two spin channels is also an indication of strong interaction of the oxygen adatoms with the spin-dependent electronic structure of the ferromagnetic substrate. ͓S0163-1829͑98͒05444-7͔
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
