摘要
Sulfur K-edge surface extended X-ray absorption fine structure (SEXAFS) measurements have been carried out on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkylthiols adsorbed onto evaporated silver surfaces. By using the Auger yield method, it was found that adequate data could be obtained to allow a preliminary determination of the adsorption site of the S head groups on the predominantly (111) Ag surface. For SAMs of butanethiol and octanethiol, the three-fold hollow site was identified as the most probable position for the S atom. In addition to studies of as-prepared monolayers, the evolution of the NEXAFS spectra of octanethiol SAMs on silver which were progressively photo-oxidised was also investigated. The results supported the model derived for this process from other techniques. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
