Abstract

Adsorption structures of CO and NO on the NiO(111) film grown on Ni(111) crystal have been investigated by sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS). The CO stretching band of adsorbed CO on NiO(111) was observed at 2144 cm-1 on the SFG spectra for both p- and s-polarized visible light. However, adsorbed NO on NiO(111) was observed at 1805 cm-1 on the SFG spectra only for the p-polarized visible light. The results suggest that the adsorbed CO molecule was tilted from the surface normal but the NO molecule was perpendicular to the surface. These orientations of CO and NO reflect the surface structure of NiO(111) which has (2×2)reconstructed microfacets. Adsorption of CO on Ni(111) instead of NiO(111) was also examined by SFG and IRAS. Absorption bands due to linear and bridged CO were observed at 2076 and 1918 cm-1, respectively, by IRAS. On the other hand, the linear CO molecules on Ni(111) gave an SFG peak at 2076 cm-1 only for the p-polarized visible light indicating the CO molecules are perpendicular to the surface, and bridged CO molecules did not give any SFG signal. The absence of the bridged CO signal is believed to be due to the smaller Raman tensor of bridged CO.
