CO adsorption on Au(310) and Au(321): 6-Fold coordinated gold atoms
The adsorption of CO on Au(310) and Au(321) was studied using a combination of thermal desorption spectroscopy and high resolution core level photoemission spectroscopy. These vicinal Au surfaces both have 6-fold coordinated atoms at the step edges but have a different terrace structure. The CO adsorption behavior was found to be very similar for both surfaces. Three different desorption peaks due
