摘要
The adsorption of Na on Al(111) at room temperature has been studied by surface extended x-ray-absorption fine-structure (SEXAFS) experiments as well as by parameter-free calculations. For coverages of THETA-Na = 0.16-0.33, the SEXAFS analysis shows that Na atoms occupy an unusual sixfold-coordinated substitutional site. The Na-Al bond length is determined as 3.31 angstrom, consistent with metallic bonding. Ab initio density-functional-theory calculations for several adsorbate geometries show that the substitutional site has the lowest total energy.
