Journal ArticleDOI
O- escape during the oxidation of cesium.
TL;DR: A mechanism is proposed whereafter the release of O - is a consequence of strong repulsion in O 2 2- species intermediately formed in front of the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exoelectron emission during oxidation of Cs films
TL;DR: In this paper, a kinetic model based on the successive steps involved in the oxidation of thin Cs is developed which describes qualitatively well all the experimental findings, including the effect of surface reaction on the electronic properties of the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emission of exoelectrons during oxidation of Cs via thermal activation of a metastable O2- surface species.

TL;DR: Oxidation of alkali metals is found to be accompanied by emission of electrons ("exoelectrons") indicating the possibility for a nonadiabatic channel which enables transformation of the reaction enthalpy into electronic excitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonadiabatic processes during the oxidation of Li layers
Thomas Greber,Karsten Freihube,R. Grobecker,Artur Böttcher,Klaus Hermann,Gerhard Ertl,D. Fick +6 more
TL;DR: A model is proposed and supported by the results of local-spin-density-approximation cluster calculations whereby electron transfer from the metal onto the impinging O molecule leads to formation of a transient O species at a Li surface, which subsequently transforms into the ground state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Singlet-to-triplet conversion of metastable He atoms at alkali-metal overlayers.
TL;DR: Energy distributions of electrons emitted from alkali-metal surfaces by impact of metastable He atoms reveal that R is a qualitative measure for the degree of ``metallization'' of the adlayer and increases with temperature due to broadening of the nearest-neighbor distribution.
