✦ Synopsis

Chlorine chemisorbs rapidly on Ag(l10) at 300 K to a saturation coverage of about one monolayer and with a sticking probability of order unity. The corresponding work function shift is i-1.7 eV. XP and UP spectra are awsistent with the presence of a single kind of chemisorbed species. It appears that Ag behaves as a simple s-band solid and that the adsorbate 3p level is shifted so as to tie in the metal s-band; these observations are in agreement with the recent theoretical predictions of Anderson.
