Oxygen adsorption on the surface of polycrystalline palladium has been studied by the photoelectron spectroscopy method in a wide range of oxygen exposure and temperatures, starting with the earliest stages of adsorption to the formation of the surface compound of PdO-type. Based on the analysis of the experimental data and the calculation of the density of states carried out by the TB-LMTO-ASA method, the attempt to elucidate the electronic mechanism of adsorption and oxidation power of palladium was made.
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.
