Abstract
The adsorption of CO on an Al(100) surface has been studied with use of infrared spectroscopy. In contradiction to earlier assumptions, the molecules do not lie flat on the surface. The initial sticking coefficient is very low, indicating physisorption via van der Waals interaction. No ordered structures are observed and the infrared absorption peak is found to be inhomogeneously broadened.Keywords
