Results of scattering of 80-300 eV O 2 and NO from Ag( 111) and PtC 111) single crystal surfaces are presented. Molecular negative ion formation occurs on both surfaces. For O 2 scattering around 80 e V for 0; =.70° from Ag C 111 ), the 0; distribution is detected in the ~pecular direction, whereas an off-specular shift towards the surface is observed for scattering trom PtC 111). For the PtC 111) surface, a degree of dissociation is observed that is much larger than for the Ag( 111) surface. Both observations are consistent with the low dissociative sticking probability for thermal O 2 on AgC 111) reported and the high dissociative sticking probability for thermal O 2 on PtC 111). For NO -, the degree of dissociation is approximately equal to the degree of dissociation for O 2 at the same PtC 111) surface.
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.
