Abstract
We have measured directly the absolute surface coverage of ethylene adsorbed to saturation on a clean Pt(111) surface at 100 K. The fully deuterated compound (C 2D 4) was substituted for C 2H 4, enabling quantitative measurements to be made of both C and D areal densities via two independent nuclear reactions. For the C atom coverage, we have measured the 12C(d, p) 13C yield for incident deuterons of 972 keV energy. For the D atom coverage, we have measured the D( 3He, p) 4He yield for incident 3He ions of 630 keV energy. Measurements were made in conjunction with LEED (at 300 K), Auger and thermal desorption spectroscopies. For ethylene adsorption at 100 K, the saturation carbon and deuterium coverages are consistent with C 2D 4 stoichiometry and the observed coverage was 0.23 ± 0.02 monolayers. The coverage for adsorption at 300 K, assuming C 2D 3 stoichiometry, was measured to be 0.21 ± 0.02 monolayers.
