โฆ Synopsis
Adsorption of water on an ultra-thin alumina film grown epitaxially onto NiAl(1 1 0) has been investigated by temperature-programmed desorption, work function measurements, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, and highresolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as a function of surface coverage at 100 K. At low coverages monomeric H 2 O species are adsorbed and it is proposed that the oxygen lone pair orbitals interact weakly via polarisation forces with the Al 3รพ cations of the second layer. No indication for the dissociation of H 2 O and the formation of OH ร species has been found. For intermediate coverages clustering of H 2 O molecules occurs and the growth of a three-dimensional ice layer is observed. Care has to be exercised in photoemission experiments of ice layers, since UV photon-induced dissociation of H 2 O in thicker ice layers is indicated.
