Title: Surface structure from angle-resolved secondary-ion mass spectrometry: Oxygen on Cu(001)

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

Measured angular distributions for O/sup -/ and Cu/sup +/ eje-ated by 1500-eV Ar/sup +/-ion bombardment of chemisorbed oxygen on Cu(001) exhibit anisotropies which vary by greater than a factor of 2. Molecular-dynamics calculations of the ion-impact event agree well with experiment if the oxygen atom is placed in a fourfold coordination site 1.2--1.5 A above the Cu(001) plane. Angle-resolved secondary-ion mass spectrometry is proposed as a powerful new method for the determination of adsorbate positions.
