Experimental characterization of hydrogen adsorption sites for H/W(111) using low energy ion scattering
Abstract
Low energy ion scattering (LEIS) and direct recoil spectroscopy (DRS) are among the few experimental techniques that allow for the direct detection of hydrogen on a surface. Here, the interpretation of LEIS and DRS measurements, however, is often made difficult by complexities that can arise from complicated scattering processes. Previously, these complexities were successfully navigated to identify the exact binding configurations of hydrogen on a few surfaces using a simple channeling model for the projectile ion along the surface. For the W(111) surface structure, this simple channeling model breaks down due to the large lateral atomic spacing on the surface and small interlayer spacing. Instead, our observed hydrogen recoil signal can only be explained by considering not just channeling along the surface but also scattering from subsurface atoms. Using this more complete model, together with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we determine that hydrogen adsorbs to the bond-centered site for the W(111)+H(ads) system. Additional MD simulations were performed to further constrain the adsorption site to a height h = 1.0 ± 0.1 Å and a position dBC = 1.6 ± 0.1 Å along the bond between neighbors in first and second layers. Our determination of the hydrogen adsorption site is consistentmore »
