Abstract

Electronic structures of CO, CH4 and Xe on Pd(110) were studied by means of photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) using synchrotron radiation. In order to enhance the sensitivity for the adsorbate derived states in valence PE spectra, photon energy at the Cooper minimum (hv = 120-130 eV) was utilized. In the case of the CO saturated Pd(110) surface at 90 K, peaks are observed at ∼3.4 eV, 8.0 eV (with a shoulder at ∼7.2eV), 11.0 eV and 14.4 eV below the Fermi level (EF). In addition to the previously reported peaks (1π and 5σ at ∼8 eV and 4σ at ∼11 eV), two peaks were newly observed. The 3.4 eV peak could be assigned to the bonding state hybridized between CO 2π and Pd 4d orbitals. The 14.4 eV peak is tentatively assigned to the CO 4σ shake-up satellite. In the 'physisorption' systems, i.e. CH4 and Xe on Pd(110), only the smooth attenuation of photoemission from the Pd 4d-band was observed in the PE spectra.
