Preface Surface Science is understood as a relatively young scientific discipline, concerned with the physical and chemical properties of and phenomena on clean and covered solid surfaces, studied under a variety of conditions. The adsorption of atoms and molecules on solid surfaces is, for example, such a condition, connected with more or less drastic changes of all surface properties. An adsorption event is frequently observed in nature and found to be of technical importance in many industrial processes. For this reason, Surface Science is interdisciplinary by its very nature, and as such an important intermediary between fundamental and applied research. Intense world-wide research in this field over the last 50 years has lead to a considerable degree of maturity, such that a documentation of quantitative results in a single source seems desirable. Tribute is being paid to this effect by the renowned Series of LANDOLT-BÖRNSTEIN whose editor-in-chief Werner Martienssen, Frankfurt/ Main, has initiated several volumes of collected scientific data in the field of Surface Science. The beginning has been made with LANDOLT-BÖRNSTEIN volume III/24, entitled Physics of Solid Surfaces. This volume, consisting of four subvolumes, appeared in 1993-96 and covers the properties of clean solid surfaces. The current volume III/42 is devoted to Physics of Covered Solid Surfaces and, in particular, to Adsorbed Layers on Surfaces. It is as such a collection of data obtained for adsorbates on well-defined crystalline surfaces. "Well-defined" means surfaces of known crystallographic structure and chemical composition. It was almost clear at the beginning, that the amount of general information and quantitative data on Adsorbed Layers on Surfaces is enormous, too large to fit into a single book. Hence several subvolumes had to be planned. Unfortunately, the chapters anticipated for each of the subvolumes did not arrive synchronously with the production schedule, such that the sequence of chapters actually printed in the subvolumes deviates from that in the original outline of the whole volume. We apoligize for this inconvenience, but in the age of electronic information distribution this problem will be solved, once all volumes are available electronically. Search routines will guide the reader to the data of his/her desire. Until that time, the index of each subvolume will have to do. Four subvolumes A1 to A4 of volume III/42 have already appeared in the years 2001-2005. The present subvolume A5 entitled Adsorbed Molecules on Metal, Semiconductor and Oxide Surfaces is the final one in this sequence. Finally, it is my great pleasure to thank all authors of this volume for their excellent contributions, and the editing and production offices of the Landolt-Börnstein Section of the Springer-Verlag for efficient cooperation and excellent support. Jülich, May 2006

3.4.1 Adsorbate properties of hydrogen on solid surfaces

[Ref. p. 111

Non-metallic atomic adsorbates on metals and semiconductors

3.4.1 Adsorbate properties of hydrogen on solid surfaces 3.4.1.1 Introduction Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element in the universe. On earth and at temperatures below ~ 2000 K the thermodynamic stable form of hydrogen is dihydrogen H2. This simplest homonuclear diatomic molecule exhibits a strong chemical bond (bond dissociation energy 432 kJ/mol) which may be considered the prototype of covalent bonding. A survey of the physical and chemical properties of H2 and hydrides has been given by Silvera [80Sil]. A full potential energy surface (PES) for the H2 molecule has been calculated by Shavitt et al. [68Sha]. For a variety of reasons (hydrogen´s role in heterogeneous catalysis, battery and fuel cell technology, materials science, plasma physics), its interaction with solid surfaces (preferentially metallic surfaces) has attracted and still attracts much attention in science and technology. It is useful, for chemical and energetic reasons, to distinguish the interaction of H atoms and that of H2 molecules (which is by far more important) with these surfaces. A fairly consistent understanding of the underlying general chemical scenario has arisen from the numerous surface studies performed hitherto: The thermal H2 molecule approaches the surface and is transiently trapped in a weakly bound precursor state. It can either reside in this state for some time or move on towards a more strongly bound state, dissociate into atoms, which then become adsorbed in a deep chemisorption potential. Depending on the thermal energy of the physisorbed molecule or chemisorbed atom compared to the depth of the adsorption potential well the hydrogen particle may be able or unable to migrate across the surface whereby also tunnelling processes can play a role. With a given layer of adsorbed hydrogen atoms formed by dissociation, also the reverse process, namely, the recombination of two individual H atoms to dihydrogen and its desorption is a likely event, especially at elevated temperatures. The hydrogen - surface interaction may be thermally activated and will then be governed by kinetics rather than by thermodynamics. Accordingly, the field of hydrogen reaction dynamics and kinetics represents a topic of greatest scientific interest, experimentally as well as theoretically. Modern (quantumstate selective) spectroscopic techniques render the investigation and (in many cases state-selective) characterization even of ultra-short particle - surface interaction steps possible [88Zac, 90Zac]. However, once the adsorbed hydrogens (be it molecules or atoms) have been accommodated on the solid surface, the system has usually reached thermodynamic equilibrium. Depending on temperature the particles either reside in distinct adsorption sites and often form ordered two-dimensional phases (localized or immobile adsorption, preferred at low temperatures) or they can freely migrate across the surface (delocalized or mobile adsorption dominating at elevated temperatures) and then be considered within the framework of a lattice gas system. Of course, various transitions between these two extreme cases are conceivable, for example, particle hopping and site exchange processes. In addition, due to the light mass of H, delocalization by quantum-mechanical tunnelling may contribute to H surface diffusion, especially at very low temperatures [86Wha]. Generally, the hydrogen adsorption process can be considered a transition from an initial state (= clean, i.e., uncovered, solid surface plus an ensemble of gaseous hydrogen molecules) to a final state (= surface covered with a two-dimensional layer of adsorbed hydrogen molecules or atoms). In this scheme the solid surface must not be considered a rigid lattice of periodic adsorption sites; many studies revealed that the solid surface is a dynamic, flexible and ‘soft’ system that will instantaneously respond (geometrically and electronically) to the presence of hydrogen. Consequently, surface restructuring effects are the rule rather than the exception affecting both surface energetics and geometry, c.f., sects. 3.4.1.3.3. and 3.4.1.3.4. Another noteworthy property of adsorbing hydrogen is its ability to migrate through the topmost surface layer, enter the surface-near crystal region and accommodate in subsurface and bulk sites, respectively, a process referred to as sorption or absorption. A variety of metals is known which dissolve hydrogen gas quite readily, among others Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta, and, most notably, Pd [67Lew, 78Wic, 79Bur]. Both subsurface and bulk absorption sites can be distinguished from the (surface) location of

adsorbed H atoms in a simple one-dimensional potential energy diagram (Fig. 1). The various potential energy wells are separated by (usually H concentration-dependent) activation barriers making the H uptake temperature dependent. A wealth of literature exists concerning the sorption properties of these metals (which cannot be covered here for the sake of space limitation); overviews are given, for example, in the monograph ‘Hydrogen in Metals’ [78Ale] and other review articles [92Sch2, 01Kir].

Fig. 1: One-dimensional diagram illustrating the change in potential energy of a hydrogen molecule approaching a metal surface (indicated by the hatched area). It describes the energetic situation during the following processes • Physisorption of the H2 molecule into a shallow potential energy minimum of depth EH 2 • Dissociation of the H2 molecule and the formation of a stable chemisorptive bond with adsorption energy EH. • Transport of H atoms into subsurface sites, with a coverage-dependent sorption energy ESS. • (Possible) absorption of H atoms in interstitial sites with heat of solution Esol. Indicated is also the activation energy of diffusion of the respective H atoms, Ediff.

Probably one of the most important quantities which governs adsorption and desorption phenomena is the hydrogen surface concentration (number of atoms or molecules per m2). The related quantity mostly used in experimental work is the hydrogen coverage Ĭ, which is usually defined as a dimensionless quantity between 0 and 1, relating the number of actually adsorbed particles (H atoms or H2 molecules in the first layer) with the maximum number of adsorption sites (or sometimes substrate surface atoms per unit area):

ΘH =

N ad N max

(1)

Multiplying Θ H with the number of substrate surface atoms, Nmax, yields the number of the adsorbed H atoms per m2. Since in most cases the H-related system properties (listed in the upcoming tables) will depend on Θ H, this quantity will be given where necessary. This survey of hydrogen - surface interaction is organized in the following manner: We will accompany a hydrogen molecule on its way towards the surface and make a coarse distinction between (time-dependent) kinetic properties on the one hand and equilibrium phenomena consisting of (static) Landolt-Börnstein New Series III/42A5

energetic, structural (geometric and electronic) and vibrational properties on the other hand. In the first category (dealing with kinetic phenomena) we will list the available data for the initial sticking probability, the frequency factor and the reaction-order for desorption. Where the respective data exist we will also include activation energies for adsorption, because (as mentioned above) the adsorption dynamics of hydrogen has received considerable interest during the last decade, motivated by the increasingly more sophisticated (molecular beam and/or quantum-state resolved short time) experiments and calculations. In the second part we will expand on the equilibrium properties, namely, kind and number of hydrogen adsorption states, (coverage-dependent) adsorption/ desorption energy, surface structure (long-range ordered phases with and without reconstruction), structural phase transitions, local adsorption site geometry (bond length, coordination number), vibrational frequencies, and electronic structure (adsorbate-induced electronic-bonding states and work function changes). In a final chapter, a brief overview over the theoretical attempts to describe the H2 dissociation and H chemisorption will be given. Quite generally, the position of the respective substrate element in the periodic table will be the ordering principle of the various interaction systems, whereby the available data for elemental semiconductors and non-metallic elemental solids will be listed separately. For the sake of reliability, only those data will be considered that have been measured with clean and structurally well-defined single crystal surfaces. In this sense, we have tried to include most of the relevant data available in the literature, and it is possible, by comparing older with more recent data, to directly follow the progress that has been made in the respective research area during the past twenty or thirty years. Not in all instances a complete data base will be found in the columns of the tables – despite the relatively many “white spots” on the map of hydrogen properties it is deemed useful to give the citation which offers the possibility to at least look up the reference and judge on the kind and qualitiy of the respective scientific work.

3.4.1.2 Some general principles of the hydrogen – surface interaction Our current understanding of the interaction of hydrogen with solid surfaces is documented in several review articles [82Kno, 88Chr, 90Dav]. Most of these reviews are concerned with the interaction of hydrogen with metal surfaces, only in some cases also its interaction with semiconducting or insulating surfaces is addressed in sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 in part 3 of this Landolt-Börnstein volume III/42A, because interest in the interaction of hydrogen with these materials has arisen only during the past decade [90Hig, 90Cha, 96Hoe, 99Bal], especially in conjunction with the discovery that H atoms can lift the semiconductor’s inherent surface reconstruction by selectively saturating its dangling bonds. As a consequence, the respective reconstructions are replaced by (1×1) surface phases with H termination, prominent examples being the Si(111)-(1×1)-H [91Cha] or the diamond C(111)-(1×1)-H surfaces [91Mit]. A well-known property of the hydrogen molecule is its ability to dissociate into H atoms when getting into contact with surfaces. The H atoms then can interact quite strongly with the solid leading to the process of chemisorption with typical binding energies ranging between 50 and ~150 kJ/mol. Further reactions that affect the chemical state of the solid may consist of dissolution, absorption and compound (hydride) formation: Hydrogen often exhibits a peculiar reactivity here because of its small size. Note that the dissociation reaction itself can proceed as a homolytic process, according to the scheme: H2 ļ H• + H•, or heterolytic, along the path: H2 ļ H+ + H−. On metals, the homolytic step is certainly the rule, while on (polar) semiconductor and insulating surfaces (oxides, in particular) also the heterolytic mechanism has been reported. An electrically neutral hydrogen molecule arriving from the gas phase and getting in contact with a solid surface will first experience a (weak) van-der-Waals potential in which it is physisorbed at sufficiently low temperatures. Generally, the binding forces acting between the trapped H2 molecule and the surface are quite small, due to the closed-shell character of H2. The respective adsorption energies lie well below ~10 kJ/mol and resemble the condensation enthalpy of elemental hydrogen. Accordingly, temperatures around or below 20 K are required to stabilize H2 molecules on the surface [82Avo]. However, it was shown that on otherwise active metal surfaces with special geometry, containing steps

and/or holes such as Ni(510) or Pd(210), H2 dissociation may be kinetically hindered resulting in a chemisorbed molecular hydrogen species which can be stable up to 100…130 K [86Mar, 93Nyb, 01Sch1]. Physisorption is the only interaction if chemically inert (insulating and/or semiconducting) surfaces are exposed to hydrogen gas at low temperatures. A completely different situation is encountered when surfaces are exposed to H atoms. Then a strong chemical interaction (often leading to compound, i.e. hydride, formation) is the rule. It is worth to mention here that semiconducting or insulating surfaces as well as free electron and/or noble metal surfaces (Cu, Ag, Au) [95Ham2] with their deep-lying d electron states exhibit a surprisingly small activity to dissociate H2 molecules, in contrast to transition metal (TM) surfaces with their high density of d electron states at the Fermi level (EF) [98Chr]. Typical transition metals (e.g., Ni, Ru, or Pt) effectively catalyze the spontaneous homolytic dissociation of dihydrogen, especially in the presence of active (defect) sites [88Ren]. It is thought that the existence of empty d electron states right at EF allows the filled molecular orbitals of the H2 molecule to effectively circumvent the Pauli repulsion barrier by rehybridization [88Har, 89Har]. This process is not possible with free-electron metals such as Cu, Ag, or Au because of their lack of empty d electron states right at EF. [This matter will be taken up again in sect. 3.4.1.3.5 which is devoted to the electronic interaction between a hydrogen molecule and a metal surface]. Accordingly, the activation barriers for dissociation and chemisorption of hydrogen on these surfaces are relatively large [81Nor1]. This has motivated a whole number of studies, especially during the last two decades, to expose the respective materials either to thermally excited H2 beams (using supersonic molecular beam techniques, often with well-defined translational and/or rovibrational quantum-states) to overcome the dissociation barrier, or to dissociate the H2 molecules prior to adsorption in the gas phase (either by the thermal energy of a hot tungsten filament (following Langmuir’s early recipe [12Lan, 14Lan, 15Lan])) or by a hydrogen RF discharge operating at a frequency of 2.450 GHz [88Bas]). By exposure to a reactive beam of H atoms, many surfaces which are inert with respect to ‘normal’ H2 gas exposure can be forced to build up atomic hydrogen layers, e.g., Cu, Ag, Au, but also diamond, silicon and various alkaline, alkaline earth, and earth metals. Particularly these latter materials quite easily form salt-like (in some cases volatile) hydrides, AlH3 being a good example [91Kon]. Within simple transition-state theory, the process of dissociation and subsequent atomic adsorption can be visualized by a two-dimensional potential hyperface [85Kno] either with an ‘early’ or with a ‘late’ activation barrier; in other words, the dissociation reaction may be supported by translational (early barrier) or vibrational excitation (late barrier) of the incoming molecule [87Pol]. The situation is illustrated by means of Fig. 2. Quantum-chemical calculations performed, e.g., with the Pd(100)/H2 system clearly revealed the quite complex nature of the dissociation reaction as a multi-dimensional process [95Gro1, 98Gro, 99Eic]. Generally, up to 6 dimensions are considered when calculating the potential energy surfaces (PES) for the H2 dissociation reaction. Latest experimental developments in low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) have made it possible to directly watch hydrogen molecules dissociating on a Pd(111) surface [03Mit2], with the interesting result that the dissociation event requires – at least for the Pd(111)/H2 system – more than two adjacent empty adsorption sites, namely, at least three such sites, a conclusion that had been indirectly deduced from H adsorption studies on bimetallic Ru surfaces more than twenty years ago [80Shi]. After H2 dissociation a layer of H atoms is readily built up, a process referred to as hydrogen chemisorption, with appreciable adsorption energies involved: The trapped H atoms reside at the bottom of a deep chemisorption potential; neighboring sites can be reached by hopping or tunnelling. While the dynamics of dissociation may be fairly complicated [03Gro] – the overall energetics can be relatively simply visualized in terms of the one-dimensional Lennard-Jones potential model (Fig. 3). It can easily be seen that the following energy balance holds EMe − H =

1 2

(Ead + Ediss ) ,

in which Ead stands for the adsorption energy (i.e., depth of the adsorption potential) and Ediss denotes the H - H bond dissociation energy (= 432 kJ/mol). EMe-H is the binding energy of a single H - metal adsorptive bond. At room temperature, chemisorbed H atoms may stay for quite a while in the respective potential, since the energies involved (Ead) can easily reach 100 kJ/mol or more for typical transition metals. Frequent structural consequences of these strong interaction forces are relaxation or Landolt-Börnstein New Series III/42A5

reconstruction phenomena of the substrate either locally, i.e., in the direct vicinity of an adsorbed atom, or by H-induced perturbations of the surface electronic structure with long-range character. Further interaction steps can include occupation of subsurface (between the topmost and second substrate layer) or bulk sites (H solution or absorption processes), or compound (hydride) formation, Pd-H being a wellknown example. y

Several trajectories are indicated: (1) denotes a reflection trajectory (unsuccessful event) with no chemisorption, (2) a successful approach leading to dissociation. Note that the saddle point P can be located either in the ‘entrance’ channel relatively far away from the surface (left-hand side) or in the ‘exit’ channel (right-hand side). In the first case, mainly translational energy of the H2 molecule is required for a successful passage across the barrier, while vibrational excitation is advantageous if P is located closer to the surface.

The dashed line indicates the potential energy U(z) if the H2 molecule is pre-dissociated in the gas phase (dissociation energy Ediss) and the two isolated, reactive, H atoms approach the surface. The deep potential energy well (EMe - H) represents the energy of the metal - H bond formed (which is gained twice). While the shallow physisorption minimum Ephys characteristic of inactive surfaces causes the intersection between the dotted and dashed line to occur at positive energies (above zero) and, hence, leads to an activation barrier of height E *, a deeper physisorption well pushes the respective intersection to negative energies (below zero) thus enabling a nonactivated (spontaneous) dissociation (cross-over between the full and the dashed line). Accordingly, the heat of adsorption, Ead, is released.

At higher temperatures, two chemisorbed H atoms will diffuse, meet each other, recombine and desorb as a H2 molecule, leaving behind the empty surface. This process of desorption can be considered the time reverse of the adsorption process and is usually described in terms of simple kinetic models based on transition-state theory (TST). However, a correct description of the rate of desorption becomes difficult, if the adsorption and dissociation are activated processes [01Wet].

processes such as adsorbate-induced structural phase transformations, occupation of subsurface sites or bulk (sorption) phenomena can and will introduce even more severe obstacles in the endeavor to quantify the complete interaction scenario.

3.4.1.3 The interaction of hydrogen with solid surfaces: experimental data 3.4.1.3.1 Adsorption kinetics

3.4.1.3.1.1 Introductory remarks The quantity that governs the hydrogen uptake of a given surface is the sticking coefficient s. It is understood as the probability that a gaseous particle hitting the surface will become adsorbed for a finite time rather than be immediately back-reflected into the gas phase. ‘Finite’ time means that the particle must have accommodated on the surface and lost the memory from which direction it has impinged; it varies with the depth of the interaction potential and depends on the surface temperature. Following Groß [03Gro], the decisive condition for sticking or trapping is that the particle can transfer its kinetic energy to the substrate. He defines a function PE(ε ) which is the probability that an incoming particle with kinetic energy E will transfer the energy ε to the surface. If the particle transfers at least its entire gas phase kinetic energy to the surface it safely remains trapped in the adsorption potential, and the (energydependent) sticking probability can be expressed as

For more details on definitions of s, its coverage and temperature dependencies, precursor kinetics etc., we refer to the special literature [84Mor, 92Ren] and to the introductory chapters 1 and 2 of this Landolt-Börnstein subvolume III/42A (which you can find in parts 1 and 2, respectively). Generally, the (coverage-dependent) sticking probability can be regarded as a product of an initial, coverageindependent, but system-immanent, factor, s0, called the initial sticking coefficient, and a function f (Θ ) which contains the coverage dependence. Then, using simple kinetic theory, the rate of adsorption rad becomes rad =

in which PH 2 stands for the hydrogen gas pressure, Nmax for the maximum number of adsorbed particles, * m for the absolute mass of the molecule, and Ead for a (possibly important) activation barrier in the adsorption process to account for a temperature dependence of the sticking probability. It is important to note here that especially hydrogen sticking depends quite sensitively on the physical state of the solid surface (impurities, structural features, structural defects, foreign atoms) as pointed out by Poelsema et al. [85Poe] for the system H on Pt(111) and in a comprehensive article by Rendulic and Winkler [89Ren2]. Usually, surfaces rich in defects show a much larger activity in trapping (and subsequently dissociating) H2 molecules than smooth surfaces (smooth on the microscopic scale), the difference sometimes amounting to several orders of magnitude. In the catalytic chemist’s language these defects are known as ‘active sites’ and can strongly influence the general chemical reactivity of a given system. In the same sense, even traces of foreign atoms can hinder or enhance hydrogen sticking quite effectively. It is not trivial to detect and characterize traces of surface impurities (in the order of a few percent of a monolayer) and it is even more difficult to ascertain the short-range crystallographic order of a given surface. Therefore, the literature data available for s0 have to be considered with some care, especially data that were obtained from surfaces whose crystallographic order and chemical cleanliness

[Ref. p. 111

were not properly controlled. Only in a few cases the surfaces were sufficiently well characterized, e.g., by parallel scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) or LEED measurements. Another problem concerns temperature dependencies of the sticking – especially when the adsorption is activated. In these cases, the sticking coefficient depends sensitively on the kinetic and internal energy of the incoming hydrogen molecule, and only quantum-state selective molecular beam and coupled laser experiments can provide the necessary physical information. Using standard Boltzmann formalism, the height of the activation barrier for adsorption can nevertheless be estimated from the temperature dependence of the hydrogen uptake.

3.4.1.3.1.2 The initial sticking probability

The initial sticking coefficient of hydrogen s0 reflects the specific energy accommodation and dissipation properties of a given hydrogen - surface interaction system. In the zero-coverage limit (Θ → 0) one actually considers the sticking probability of the first impinging hydrogen molecule. The energy accommodation can occur either by direct coupling of the respective molecule to the surface phonons of the heat bath of the solid or (in case of metals) by excitation of electron - hole pairs right at the Fermi level (electronic friction) [77Kno, 80Sch1, 82Sch, 97Men, 99Nie]. In a simple approximation, the impinging event is considered as a binary elastic collision between a gas particle of mass m and initial energy Ei and a fixed surface atom of mass M. Applying the rules of energy and momentum conservation, the amount of transferred energy, ∆E = Ei − Ef is described by the classical Baule expression [14Bau] (µ being the mass ratio m /M):

∆E =

4µ

(1 + µ )2

Ei

(5)

The respective energy is then used to heat up the phonon bath of the solid. It has been argued that with hydrogen as the lightest molecule (m 0.8 0.06...0.1 0.06 0.19 0.01 0.9…1.0 0.96 0.87 0.1

3.4.1.3.4 The diffusion of adsorbed hydrogen

Surface diffusion is an important process in the interaction of hydrogen with solid surfaces in that it often governs the rate of adsorption and desorption, determines the formation of phases with long-range order and, of course, decisively affects the rate of catalytic reactions involving transfer of H atoms or H2 molecules. Due to the limited space we will exclude bulk diffusion phenomena from our considerations, although certain metals such as Pd, V, Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta etc. can under appropriate thermodynamic conditions absorb large quantities of hydrogen which makes these materials interesting for hydrogen storage. For details on this subject as well as on a general formal description of diffusion phenomena, the reader is referred to the respective monographs and textbooks [65Jos, 78Ale]. We recall that especially Pd surfaces exhibit a variety of phenomena which involve diffusion steps, overlayer - underlayer (surface subsurface) transitions and absorption/hydride formation processes. Pioneering field emission work, focussing to a large extent on H surface diffusion, was performed in Gomer’s laboratory [57Wor, 61Gom, 90Gom]. Morris et al. [84Mor] and Naumovets and Vedula [84Nau] reviewed the state of surface diffusion until the mid-eighties (including a description of experimental methods). More recent compilations deal with single adatom diffusion phenomena [94Ehr] or with the mechanisms of surface diffusion processes in general [02Nau, 02Ros]. A historical review is provided by Antczak and Ehrlich [05Ant]. Until the nineties, direct observation of surface diffusion by field emission techniques (either by watching the propagation of diffusion fronts or by an analysis of field emission fluctuations [82DiF]) was by far the most frequently applied and effective technique. Only in recent decades additional powerful methods were developed. In 1972 Ertl and Neumann introduced the laserinduced thermal desorption technique [72Ert], which was then further improved [86See, 86Mak1, 87Mak1, 87Mak2]: This method is based on the ‘hole refilling’ phenomenon: A focused laser beam illuminates a well-defined patch on the surface with an energy just sufficient to thermally desorb all the particles in that area. The refilling of the hole from the unperturbed surrounding is then followed as a function of time by subsequently fired laser pulses. The refilling signal is then fitted to expressions derived from Fick’s second law. However, this technique in its simple form bears some disadvantages; among others, it is difficult to deduce directional and coverage dependencies [92Man]. Mak and George have published a simplified method to determine the coverage dependence of surface diffusion coefficients [86Mak2]. In the nineties, optical diffraction of laser beams [92Zhu, 97Cao], He atom scattering [99Gra], or scanning tunneling microscopy [96Zam, 96Tro, 97Win] were used to follow surface diffusion. A real breakthrough was achieved by applying the STM techniques: A direct counting and subsequent statistical analysis of the number of migrating N (O) atoms on a Ru surface as a function of time revealed much insight into the principal surface hopping, diffusion, and lateral ordering phenomena at and around room temperature. However, in order to watch diffusing hydrogen atoms with their much larger diffusion rate, considerably lower temperatures are necessary; a possible solution is provided by performing STM observations in combination with inelastic electron tunneling (IETS) in a 4 K-STM [97Sti, 98Sti]. For more details about this exciting technique and its application to hydrogen adsorption systems, the internet site http://www.physics.uci.edu/~wilsonho/stm-iets.html is recommended for reading. As was first convincingly shown by Gomer, the diffusion of H (D, T) atoms can be subdivided into ‘classical’ diffusion (with discrete thermally activated hopping events) and quantum diffusion in which the light H (D, T) atoms behave as wave-like quantum particles and propagate by tunneling processes, without any thermal activation barrier [80DiF, 82DiF]. This latter behavior becomes immediately evident, if one follows the temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient D(T ) [87Aue]. The temperature dependence of the classical surface diffusion is commonly described in the form of an Arrhenius equation § Ediff D(T ) = D0 exp ¨¨ − © kT

· ¸ ¸ ¹

(8)

with D0 = pre-exponential factor [cm2 s−1], and Ediff = activation energy for diffusion [kJ/mol] which corresponds to the lateral hopping barriers between adjacent adsorption sites. For stationary diffusion, D(T ) can be expressed from Fick’s first law as the ratio of the particle flux through the concentration front and the actual concentration gradient at time t. Likewise, the diffusion progress is described by the Landolt-Börnstein New Series III/42A5

Ref. p. 111]

mean square displacement of a particle, according to Einstein’s equation, which also contains the diffusion coefficient: x2 =

2 Dt

(9)

Another frequently used expression is based on random walk events between fixed sites and combines the pre-exponential factor D0, the jump length a and the vibrational frequency parallel to the surface, ν, via D0 =

1 2 aν. 4

(10)

Of course, depending on the surface structure and corrugation, there may exist ‘easy’ and ‘difficult’ pathways for diffusion; hence, the diffusion coefficient is usually strongly direction-dependent. Most of the experiments focus on a determination of the activation energies for diffusion and the diffusion coefficients, whereby, as mentioned above, the ‘classical’ regime must be delineated from quantum diffusion. As a rule of thumb, the activation energy of diffusion is between one fifth and one tenth of the depth of the chemisorption potential. One can define the lifetime Ĳs of a particle adsorbed in a specific site s on the surface; it is related to the diffusion energy by the expression §E

·

τ s = τ s ,0 exp ¨¨ diff ¸¸ © kT ¹

(11)

Apparently, the particle’s residence time in a certain site depends sensitively on the thermal energy (temperature) of the surface; Ediff 10 kT means actually immobile particles, whereas the case Ediff < kT enables a free motion of the adatoms across the surface. The space limitations do not allow us to further expand on both experimental and theoretical investigations on hydrogen diffusion. There exist numerous theoretical articles dealing with diffusive H motion on surfaces, most of them focusing on the interesting non-thermally activated quantum tunneling processes [85Fre1, 98Bae]. In the following table we have compiled some diffusion coefficients and diffusion energies for a variety of hydrogen adsorption systems. As can be seen, there are not too many hydrogen adsorption systems that have been investigated; a strong preference exists for tungsten(110) which has been scrutinized in Gomer’s laboratory [57Gom, 80DiF, 82DiF, 84Wan, 85Tri, 85Wan, 86Tri1, 86Tri2, 87Aue].

3.4.1.3.6.2 Semiconductor and insulator surfaces

The vibrational properties of H-covered semiconductor surfaces, silicon in particular, have been extensively studied since the early days of high-resolution electron-energy loss spectroscopy. An overview of this early work is given by Froitzheim [77Fro]; further aspects of the HREELS technique and its application to semiconductor studies (excitation of phonons etc.) can be taken from Ibach’s monograph [82Iba]. The status of hydrogen interaction with elemental and compound semiconductors up to 1986, mainly in the view of vibrational loss spectroscopy, is given in a report by Schaefer [86Sch].

recent years, also other techniques, mainly infrared spectroscopy, second harmonic generation or sum frequency generation spectroscopy have increasingly been exploited to determine the vibrational bands of interest. In the nineties, the upcoming technological interest in diamond films, coatings and tools has motivated a whole wealth of studies into the properties of H-covered Cdia surfaces, and the degree of hydrogenation, surface roughnesses etc. were frequently investigated also by HREELS.

3.4.1.3.7 Electronic states of adsorbed hydrogen and photoemission spectroscopy

The geometrical structures of H adsorbate layers listed in sect. 3.4.1.3.3 reflect nothing but the consequences of the electronic (quantum-chemical) interaction of a hydrogen molecule with the respective substrate. The following paragraph(s) will be devoted to this interaction and finally lead up to a (short) presentation of current theories and models to adequately describe this interaction. In section 3.4.1.3.7 we will review data that have basically been obtained by (UV) photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). UPS actually maps the electronic states of a solid surface and their adsorbate-induced changes occurring in the substrate’s conduction and valence band energy region (0 < E < 50 eV), whereby the interaction of hydrogen with conducting (metallic) surfaces is in the focus of the scientific interest. Section 3.4.1.3.8 then samples the H-induced work function data. A few remarks may be helpful to understand the principles of the quantum-chemical interaction of a H2 molecule with a solid surface; for the sake of simplicity we will consider again metallic surfaces here. In this description, we will largely follow the informative exposition given by Harris [88Har]. When an unperturbed H2 molecule with its large covalent binding energy of 4.7 eV and the comparatively quite close H - H bond distance of 0.74 Å is approaching a metal surface, say, a nickel (100) surface, it is first attracted by a weak van-der-Waals interaction potential. Since the energetically more favorable situation consists in a cleaved H - H bond and the formation of two stable Ni - H bonds (c.f., Eq. (2)) the system faces the difficulty that the typical distances between two metal (Ni) atoms are a factor of ~3 larger (Ni Ni distance = 2.49 Å) than the internuclear spacing in H2, in other words, the proton - proton distance has to be stretched quite considerably to match the Ni - Ni distance and make the two Ni - H bonds. The decisive quantity to be considered here is the (multi-dimensional) potential-energy surface (PES) which determines the transition (and the trajectories) of the incoming H2 molecule to the final equilibrium situation where two adsorbed H atoms exist on the metal surface. The accurate calculation of both the PES and the hydrogen trajectories is among the most prominent tasks of hydrogen chemisorption theory. For the H2/Mg(0001) system, Nørskov et al. [81Nor1, 87Nor] have calculated the one-electron density of states and the total binding energy for a H2 molecule approaching this surface using the effective medium theory [80Nor2, 82Nor3]. As repeatedly mentioned in the previous sections, the shallow van-der-Waals potential is separated from the deep chemisorption well by a more or less pronounced activation energy barrier which must be overcome to reach the chemisorbed state and to minimize the total energy of the combined system. According to Harris [88Har], this activation barrier has the following origin: The unperturbed H2 molecule is a closed-shell entity possessing a filled and very compact 1σg molecular orbital (MO). As it approaches the surface, interference between this 1σg MO and the metallic (sp) wave functions results in the well known Pauli repulsion: The necessary orthogonalization of the involved MOs pulls up their energies. As the molecule gets closer to the surface, this rise in energy continues until, for energetic reasons, a dramatic change in the system’s configuration can take place, namely, the dissociation of the H2 molecule. Since only with transition metals the sp and d wave functions share a common Fermi level, the far-reaching and diffuse metallic sp orbitals (which are especially affected) can avoid the Pauli repulsion by ‘escaping’ to unfilled (but energetically equivalent) d orbitals and thus offer the H2 molecule a trajectory of minimum potential energy and a much smaller activation barrier for dissociation [88Har]. Of course, in a more detailed view the spatial orientation of the H2 molecule relative to the surface must be considered on its way into its adsorbed state, which requires a full dynamical treatment (i.e., inclusion of time-dependent phenomena). Accordingly, an increasing number of calculations taking care of dynamical quantum processes have been performed in recent years; for more details, which are beyond the scope of this presentation, it is referred to the special literature [95Dar, 96Gro]. We simply point to the respective calculations performed by Wilke and Gross who successfully treated the adsorption dynamics of the H2/Pd(100) system as a six-dimensional problem and introduced the dynamical steering effect already mentioned in the introduction [96Wil]. Returning to Nørskov’s treatment of the H2/Mg(0001) system [81Nor1], which gives an idea about possible broadenings and downshifts of the involved hydrogenic MO’s along the reaction coordinate, c.f., Fig. 11, one immediately realizes that the adsorptive bonding of a H atom on a metal usually causes redistribution(s) of metallic electron density and can even lead to the formation of discrete electronic states especially in the

Fig. 11: One-electron density of states (1/eV) for a hydrogen molecule approaching a magnesium(0001) surface along the reaction coordinate. The capital letters in the top indicate extrema on the potential energy surface. From right to left, the practically unperturbed gaseous H2 molecule (P) feels a slight activation barrier (A) for entering the physisorbed state (outer part of the well M1, inner part of the well M2). At the same time, the molecular orbitals (MO) of the H2 molecule 1σg and 2 σ u* begin to downshift and broaden. As the molecule further approaches the Mg surface, a large barrier for dissociation occurs (D), and only after passing this barrier two separated H atoms can exist on the surface in a bridge position (B). After Nørskov et al. [81Nor1].

The respective changes in the electron density of states in the valence band region of the solid surface can be probed particularly well with the experimental technique of photoelectron spectroscopy. This has been demonstrated many times especially for carbon monoxide chemisorption, but also for the adsorption of hydrogen on metal surfaces. Without entering any details of the experimental set-up and theory (which can be obtained from the literature [78Feu, 86Woo]) the standard experiment is performed having vacuum UV light (generated by means of a noble gas discharge lamp (He, Ne)) incident on the (H covered) sample and collecting the emitted photoelectrons in an energy-dispersive analyzer. One then obtains the so-called energy distribution curves (EDCs) of the photoelectrons which mirror the electron density of states of the probed surface region. Much more detailed information on the surface electronic band structure is, of course, available, if these measurements are performed in a momentum-resolved manner (‘angle-resolved’ UV photoelectron spectroscopy, ARUPS [75Plu, 92Kev]): Then the surface Brillouin zone (SBZ) can be mapped and band dispersion curves of the H-induced state (which mostly is derived from the hydrogenic 1s orbital) be followed in k-space. This yields most valuable information on the energy dispersion and symmetry of the electronic states involved in the H adsorptive binding, but sheds also light on the proximity of the adsorbed H atoms in a given structure: Phases with high density should result in a larger band dispersion than H phases with wide mutual H - H distances. Furthermore, due to the often significant energy dependence of the cross sections for the respective electronic excitations it is advantageous to perform the experiments at a synchrotron storage facility, where a high flux of photons with continuously variable energy is available. While UPS measurements only probe the occupied states in the region at and below the Fermi level, Bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy (BIS), better known as ‘inverse photoemission’ (IPE) provides access also to the density of unoccupied states in the energy region between the Fermi and the vacuum level [83Dos], but the literature data base concerning unoccupied H-induced electronic states is still small. Furthermore, it is remarkable that photoemission measurements (especially when performed at a synchrotron storage ring) are seldom combined with other surface spectroscopic techniques. This may sometimes introduce uncertainty as far as surface cleanliness, accuracy of H coverages and population of binding states is concerned. In the following table, the H-induced electronic levels found in UPS measurements performed with metal and semiconductor surfaces are listed. Most of the data were obtained by angle-integrated measurements; in those cases, where angle-resolution is provided, we will add a respective comment.

3.9.16.2 H2 and H adsorption The interaction of molecular and atomic hydrogen with UHV-cleaved V2O5(001) was studied by Tepper et al using HREELS, ARUPS and XPS [02Tep1]. Both adsorbates led to a reduction of the surface: while a few Langmuirs of atomic hydrogen were sufficient to induce a considerable surface reduction, ten thousands of Langmuirs of molecular hydrogen were needed to induce significant effects.

From vibrational data of the reduced surface and from a comparison of an ARUPS spectrum of the reduced surface with a calculated density of states [99Her3] indications could be found that preferentially twofold bridging oxygen atoms are removed from the V2O5(001) surface during the first stage of reduction by hydrogen atoms.

3.9.17 ZnO Zinc oxide crystallizes in the hexagonal wurtzite structure. Since this structure does not exhibit an inversion center, a disk cut from a single crystal along the hexagonal basal plane has two structurally different surfaces. The hexagonal surfaces ZnO(0001)-O (often also called ZnO( 000 1 )-O) and ZnO(0001)-Zn are the most often studied ones (see Fig. 23a and b). Some studies have also been performed for the ZnO( 10 1 0 ) surface. The ZnO(0001)-Zn and the ZnO( 000 1 )-O surface are terminated by zinc and oxygen layers, respectively, and exhibit different chemical properties. A special point to note is that these surfaces are polar which means that they are energetically unstable if not special surface conditions like adsorption, reconstruction, charge-rearrangement or similar stabilizes them. There are reports that under typical UHV conditions the non-reconstructed ZnO( 000 1 )-O surface may be terminated by a layer of hydrogen atoms which stabilizes it [02Kun1, 03Sta1, 03Kun2]. The hydrogen-free surface was found to exhibit a (1×3) reconstruction. For the zinc terminated surface STM revealed the presence of nanosized islands with triangular holes exhibiting oxygen terminated step edges [03Dul1, 02Dul1]. It was suggested that the oxygen terminated step edges provide the necessary stabilization for the ZnO(0001)-Zn surface. Usually disks cut off from a single crystal rod are used as samples. These are prepared by polishing followed by sputtering and annealing cycles as well as oxygen treatment after introduction into the UHV chamber. Since the oxygen and the zinc terminated surfaces behave chemically different they may be differentiated by chemical methods. Chemical etching with HCl may be employed [65Kle1]. ZnO is one of the most often studied oxides which is due to its importance in the field of catalysis. Cu/ZnO catalysts are widely used for the synthesis of methanol via CO hydrogenation and for the watergas shift reaction. In the following we give an overview of results for some adsorption systems. For the remaining systems the reader may consult the references listed in Table 20. (a) ZnO(0001)-Zn

3.9.17.1 CO adsorption CO adsorption on the basal surfaces of ZnO as well as on Zn( 10 1 0 ) has been studied employing different methods. CO adsorbs weakly on ZnO( 000 1 )-O and ZnO(0001)-Zn with the heat of adsorption being (7−2θ CO) kcal/mol (θ CO = CO coverage) on both surfaces as revealed by molecular beam studies employing the King and Wells method [00Bec2, 00Bec1, 00Bec3]. From He reflectivity measurements it was concluded that CO prefers defect sites, but with increasing coverage also regular sites are occupied. Precursor mediated adsorption was found to occur for both surfaces as concluded from the coverage dependence of the sticking coefficient. A sticking coefficient which increases with coverage was observed for both surfaces, but the effect was found to be especially pronounced for ZnO(0001)-Zn. This observation was interpreted as an indication of adsorbate-assisted adsorption. For ZnO(0001)-Zn the angular dependence of ARUPS intensities has been employed to study the molecular orientation of molecules adsorbed at 80 K [81McC1]. It was found that the molecules are standing upright on the surface. With XPS C1s and O1s binding energies of 291.8 eV and of 537.9 eV, respectively, were determined for CO on ZnO(0001)-Zn for an adsorption temperature of 73 K [00Bec3].

Carbonate formation following CO dosage onto ZnO( 000 1 )-O was observed at 120 K [02Lin1, 88Au2] and 130 K [99Lin2, 96Gut1]. The surface coverage is small at 130 K. Using XPS the maximum CO coverage was determined to be 0.04 ML [99Lin2]. For carbonate resulting from CO dosage the coverage was studied as a function of substrate annealing temperature and oxygen treatment, leading to the result that carbonate formation from adsorbed CO mainly occurs on defect sites [02Lin1]. The coverage varied from 0.2 ML for a surface annealed at 1070 K to nearly zero for 1370 K annealing temperature. With angular dependent NEXAFS it was shown that the CO molecular axis is tilted by 17±10° with respect to the surface normal for CO adsorbed at 130 K [99Lin2]. With NEXAFS the C1s →π*.excitation energy for CO was foundto be 287.7±0.2 eV and for carbonate an energy of 290.4±0.2 eV has been reported [99Lin2]. Reported corelevel binding energies as obtained with XPS are 288.6 eV for the C1s level of adsorbed CO and 290 eV and 532.5 eV for the C1s and O1s level of carbonate, respectively [88Au2]. Less studies have been performed for CO adsorption onto ZnO( 10 1 0 ). For low temperature adsorption (T ∼77 K) at an ambient CO pressure of 1×10−6 Torr the formation of a dense layer with nearmonolayer coverage was reported [80Say1]. The heat of adsorption was reported to be ∼12 kcal/mol [80Say1, 80DAm1]. The adsorption geometry of the CO molecules was determined via the angular dependence of the CO 4σ intensity in angular resolved photoelectron spectra which gave a tilting angle of about 30° with respect to the surface normal [80Say1, 80DAm1]. The adsorption of CO on ZnO( 10 1 0 ) has also been studied at room temperature. After exposing the surface to 100 Pa of CO for 15 min a CO desorption peak was detected around 360 K [94Ge1]. In contrast to the results of Ge and Møller [94Ge1] who only found small amounts of desorbing CO2, Hotan, Göpel and Gaul [79Hot1] detected exclusively CO2 with TDS. However, in the latter case the applied CO pressure was much smaller (1.3×10−5 Pa). Coverage and chemical identity of the adsorbed species were not studied.

3.9.17.2 CO2 adsorption The adsorption of carbon dioxide on ZnO( 000 1 )-O was studied with XPS and NEXAFS [02Lin1, 88Au2, 96Gut1]. CO2 was found to be transformed into carbonate at the oxygen vacancies at step edges [02Lin1]. Above 150 K all physisorbed CO2 is desorbed and at temperatures above 400 K the carbonate signal vanishes [88Au2]. The carbonate molecules stand upright on the surface with an angle of about 30° between the surface normal and the molecular plane as concluded from NEXAFS data obtained after exposing ZnO( 000 1 )-O to CO2 at 130 K [96Gut1]. The C1s →π* resonance was found at 290±0.2 eV. With XPS the carbonate C1s binding energy was determined to be 290.3 eV [88Au2]. The C1s binding energy of physisorbed CO2 was found to be 291.8 eV. CO2 adsorption on ZnO( 10 1 0 ) was studied with XPS and UPS [88Au1, 80Gop2]. Formation of a surface carbonate occurs already at 100 K. Physisorbed CO2 was observed up to about 150 K and the carbonate was found to disappear until 400 K. As determined from XPS intensities the carbonate coverage was θ = 0.1 ML. C1s binding energies of 290.4 and 291.8 eV were measured for the carbonate and the physisorbed CO2, respectively.

3.9.17.3 CH3OH adsorption Methanol adsorption on ZnO(0001)-Zn and ZnO( 10 1 0 ) was studied using NEXAFS and XPS. On both surfaces a methoxide species characterized by a C1s binding energy of 290.2 eV was observed [98Jon1]. Formate forms on ZnO(0001)-Zn after annealing above 220 K. This species was found to be stable even at 523 K which is the methanol synthesis temperature. No formate formation was observed on ZnO( 10 1 0 ). From the energy of the σ shape resonance (295.5 eV) as determined with NEXAFS a C-O bond length of the methoxy groups of 1.39 Å was estimated [98Jon1].

3.9.17.4 HCOOH adsorption HCOOH adsorption was studied on ZnO(0001)-Zn, ZnO( 000 1 )-O and ZnO( 10 1 0 ). On ZnO( 000 1 )-O HCOOH was found to adsorb dissociatively (HCOOH → [HCOO]− + H+) on surface defects [02Lin1, 01Gut2]. With XPS the saturation coverage was studied as a function of the annealing temperature of the substrate and oxygen treatment [02Lin1]. For an annealing temperature of 1070 K a surface coverage of about 0.3 was found which dropped to 0.1 for an annealing temperature of 1370 K. This observation was explained as to result from the decreasing number of surface defects with increasing substrate annealing temperature. From STM results the authors concluded that adsorption preferably occurs on cus zinc cations at step edges. The C1s corelevel of the surface formate was detected at 289.6±0.3 eV. NEXAFS was used to study the geometry of the adsorbed formate ions [01Gut2] on ZnO( 000 1 )-O. From the dependence of the intensity of the C1s 2b2 resonance at 288.3 eV on the light incidence angle a tilting angle of 55±5° with respect to the surface normal was estimated. Other (weaker) C1s resonances were identified at 291.8 eV (7a1), 297.8 eV (8a1) and 301.4 eV (5b1). Ludviksson et al investigated the adsorption of formic acid on ZnO( 000 1 )-O with thermal desorption spectroscopy [94Lud1]. Desorption of molecularly adsorbed HCOOH was found to occur below 200 K with a small tail extending to higher temperatures. CO and CO2 formation due to the decomposition of adsorbed formate (HCOO → CO2 + H and HCOO → CO+OH) was found at 550 K. A large part of the hydrogen resulting from the formic acid decomposition was assumed to dissolve into the bulk. HREELS data for HCOOH adsorption onto ZnO( 000 1 )-O at 300 K have been obtained by Crook et al [97Cro1] and Thornton et al [98Tho1]. Vibrational modes of formate were observed at ∼750 cm–1 (δ(OCO)), 1080 cm–1 (π(CH)), 1371 cm–1 (νs(OCO)), 1605 cm–1 (νa(OCO)) and 2928 cm–1 (ν(CH)). A hydroxyl vibration was not observed which was supposed to result from hydrogen dissolution into the bulk. For the zinc terminated ZnO(0001)-Zn surface HCOOH adsorption was studied with TDS by Yoshihara et al [98Yos1] and Grant et al [00Gra1]. HCOOH desorption occurs at 200 K (multilayer) and 370 K (molecularly chemisorbed formic acid) [98Yos1]. Between ∼350 K and 450 K also H2 adsorption was observed which was attributed to desorption of hydrogen originating from the decomposition of formic acid on the surface (HCOOH → HCOO+H). At about 575 K desorption peaks of CO, H2O, CO2 and H2 showed up which was attributed to the dissociation of formate via the reactions HCOO → CO2 + H and HCOO → CO+OH. The HCOOH adsorption on ZnO( 10 1 0 ) at 300 K was studied with HREELS by Crook et al [97Cro1]. Again formate formation was observed. Vibrational losses of the adsorbed formate were found at 1040 cm–1 (π(CH)), 1363 cm–1 (νs(OCO)), 1573 cm–1 (νa(OCO)) and 2895 cm–1 (ν(CH)). The fate of hydrogen atoms originating from the formic acid decomposition was not clear. An increase of the OHinduced IR absorption-intensity was observed after dosage of HCOOH but no comparably strong OD vibration was found in the spectra after exposure to DCOOD. The authors argued that this observation may be due to isotopic exchange effects and to the fact that the OD vibration would be partially hidden by the νs(OCO) overtone. XPS spectra for HCOOH adsorption onto ZnO( 10 1 0 ) were published by Au et al [88Au1]. Upon adsorption a species with a C1s binding energy of 289.9 eV was observed. The position of the C1s peak did not depend on the dose nor on the annealing temperature and was visible even at 590 K, but with significantly reduced intensity.
