摘要
Codeposition of Ag and Pd on the Ru(0 0 0 1) surface has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) by recording of valence band (VB) and 3d(5/2) core electron energy distribution curves (EDCs). Two- and three-dimensional total film coverages in the temperature range 300-765 K have been characterized. At submonolayer total coverage, a flat, monolayer (ML) thick film with some degree of mixing is formed. A stable surface alloy, with Ag-Pd hybridization states similar to 2.5 eV binding energy (BE), is found when Pd is deposited after Ag. A 1 nm thick Ag52Pd48 film formed by deposition of Pd on a Ag-precovered surface at room temperature exhibits a substantial interdiffusion of Pd and Ag. A stable concentration profile is reached between 550 and 660 K. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
