摘要
H-2 and N2 physisorbed on a Ag(111) surface are investigated by means of high-resolution electron-energy loss spectroscopy with an energy resolution of 3 meV. The incident electron energy is tuned to negative ion resonances at 3 eV for H-2 and 1.5 eV for N2, and high probability for inelastic electron scattering due to combined vibrational and rotational modes is observed. The external H-2-surface (out-of-plane) vibration and its overtones are found at 8.55, 14.8 and 19.0 meV, well separated from the rotational modes. For N2, anticipated external rotational and translational modes overlap and give rise to structureless inelastic tails of the N2 stretching vibration and its overtones.
