The influence of preadsorbed sodium on the early stages of oxidation of Al(111) has been investigated using synchrotron radiation photoemission measurements of the Al and Na 2p states. There is a strong promotion (by a factor of up to 100 or more) of the rate of oxygen dissociation and formation of the three-dimensional oxide induced by the presence of the sodium. At the highest Na coverage of 0.33 ML (associated with the Al(111) (square-root 3 x square-root 3)R30-degrees-Na phase), the Al 2p chemically shifted states characteristic of the chemisorption precursor to oxidation seen on the Na-free surface are no longer observed. However, a state of intermediate chemical shift is seen in the Na 2p photoemission peak, at much lower oxygen exposures, and appears to be a characteristic of a new oxidation precursor.
