Circular dichroism in core level photoemission from an adsorbed chiral molecule.

The results of experimental measurements and theoretical simulations of circular dichroism in the angular dependence (CDAD) of photoemission from atomic core levels of each of the enantiomers of a chiral molecule, alanine, adsorbed on Cu(110) are presented. Measurements in, and out of, substrate mirror planes distinguish CDAD due to the chirality of the sample and the experimental geometry. The effect due to sample chirality is relatively weak, so such measurements may not provide a routine spectral fingerprint of adsorbate chirality.

Bond lengths and bond strengths in weak and strong chemisorption: N2, CO, and CO/H on nickel surfaces.

New chemical-state-specific scanned-energy mode photoelectron diffraction experiments and density functional theory calculations, applied to CO, CO/H, and N2 adsorption on Ni(100), show that chemisorption bond length changes associated with large changes in bond strength are small, but those associated with changes in bond order are much larger, and are similar to those found in molecular systems. Specifically, halving the bond strength of atop CO to Ni increases the Ni-C distance by 0.06 A, but halving the bond order (atop to bridge site) at fixed bond strength causes an increase of 0.16 A.
