A comprehensive review of different mechanisms which contribute to the chemical shifts of
core-level binding energies, BEs, is made. A principle focus is on showing how the …

This paper reviews the current situation in the understanding of alkali adsorption on metal
surfaces, with particular emphasis on recent structural discoveries. We start by describing …

We present total-energy, force, and electronic-structure calculations for Na and K adsorbed
in various geometries on an Al (111) surface. The calculations apply density-functional …

We have performed high resolution x-ray photoemission spectroscopy experiments on the
Ru (0001) surface, both clean and covered with well-defined amounts of oxygen up to 1 …

We report the structural and electronic properties of Cs adsorbed on room-temperature
GaAs and InSb (110) surfaces as observed with scanning tunneling microscopy. Cs initially …

This paper begins with a brief survey of the literature dealing with the adsorption and
desorption of alkalis on oxide surfaces. Emphasis is on desorption phenomena: thermal …

The interaction among adsorbed atoms and molecules (adspecies) on metal surfaces plays
a decisive role in catalytic reactions. Such interaction may cause structural changes of the …

The ordered overlayer structures formed by Cs adsorbed on a Ru (0001) surface were
analyzed by use of low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). The phase diagram reflects the …

Photoemission spectra of vacuum deposited layers of C60, before and after exposure to K
vapor, show that the K donates its conduction electron into the band derived from the lowest …

The physical and electronic structure of the dispersed and (2× 2) phases of K/graphite have
been characterized by valence and core-level photoemission. Charge transfer from K to …
