Electrochemically induced reconstruction of the Au(001) surface: An x-ray scattering study

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5934609
In-situ x-ray specular reflectivity and glancing incident angle x-ray diffraction measurements have been performed in the Au(001) surface in two solutions under potential control in an electrochemical cell. In both the 0.01 M HCl0{sub 4} and 0.01 M KBr solutions a (5 {times} 20)'' reconstruction is formed at sufficient negative potentials. The reconstruction is similar to that obtained for the clean surface in vacuum.
