摘要
The surface structure of (root 3 x root 3)R30 degrees-S-Rh(111) has been investigated by normal incidence X-ray standing wavefield (NIXSW) absorption and surface-extended X-ray absorption fine structure (SEXAFS). NIXSW measurements show that the most likely site of adsorption is at the threefold ''fcc'' hollow, with some lateral disorder. The location of the S atoms at the ''fcc'' hollow site is consistent with S adsorption on the neighbouring fcc(111) transition metal surfaces. The coherent position relative to the Rh(111) lattice plane was measured to be 1.73 +/- 0.05 Angstrom. SEXAFS analysis revealed an S-Rh nearest neighbour bond distance of 2.25 +/- 0.04 Angstrom. The combined results of the NIXSW and SEXAFS measurements suggest that there is a net outward surface relaxation of the topmost Rh(111) layers of 0.1 +/- 0.05 Angstrom. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
