Abstract

The local adsorption geometry of benzenethiolate in the ordered c(2 × 6) phase on Cu(1 0 0) has been investigated by a combination of S K-edge near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), normal incidence X-ray standing waves (NIXSW) and S 1s scanned-energy mode photoelectron diffraction (PhD). NEXAFS and PhD show that the molecular plane is tilted from the surface normal by 20 ± 15°, while NIXSW clearly identifies the S head-group as occupying the four-fold coordinated hollow sites. PhD shows the S atoms lies 1.34 ± 0.04 Å above the outermost Cu atomic layer, leading to a Cu–S bondlength of 2.25 ± 0.02 Å. The combination of the PhD and NIXSW results shows the Cu surface layer has an outward relaxation of 0.15 ± 0.06 Å. Possible origins for this large adsorbate-induced relaxation are discussed.

[35] XSWfit is a procedure, written as an Igor-Pro macro, which automatically fits XSW
data. It is based on the formalism originally developed by D.P. Woodruff in Fortran for
calculating the XSW profile for a given set of parameters. A copy of the Igor routines can
be obtained from R.G. Jones, email: robert.g.jones@nottingham.ac.uk.
