β¦ Synopsis
The optically forbidden 'Z+ -+a 'n transition of CO adsorbed on an epitaxially grown A&O3 (111) surface has been studied by means ofelectron energy loss spectroscopy. On this surface several CO adsorption states exist with adsorption enthalpies ranging from 88 (multilayer) to 170 meV. For the first time even in the (sub)monolayer range the vibrational fine structure ofthe energy loss peaks due to the 'Z++a'lI electronic transition of adsorbed CO could be clearly resolved. The half widths of the loss peaks have been used to estimate the lifetimes of the excited states
