High-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation was applied for monitoring in real time the oxidation kinetics on the Ti(0001) surface at 405 C with dry O{sub 2} gas. The time evolution of O 1s photoelectron intensity showed a linear uptake curve up to {approx}90 L followed by a sudden saturation up to {approx}160 L and then a restart of the linear increase, indicating that O{sub 2} adsorption obeys a zero-order reaction scheme before and after the saturation. Corresponding to the first linear uptake and saturation, the surface core level shift (SCLS) component of Ti 2p decreased predominantly and disappeared completely, and appeared again after the saturation and remained persistently during TiO{sub 2} growth. Thus the zero-order reaction of O{sub 2} adsorption on the Ti(0001) surface at 405 C is concerned with the metallic Ti layer on the outermost surface.
