Determination of NO adsorption sites on Pd(100) using core level photoemission and low energy electron diffraction
The adsorption of NO on Pd(1 0 0) is investigated with high resolution core level spectroscopy and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). Several ordered NO overlayers were observed, in agreement with earlier Studies. Our data clearly show that NO adsorbs in fourfold hollow sites at coverages tip to 0.25 -0.30 monolayer (ML) whereas at 0.5 ML only bridge sites are occupied. By a reinterpretation
