Abstract
The normal incidence x-ray standing wave (NIXSW) technique is used to determine the adsorption geometry of submonolayer 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) adsorbed on the Ag(110) surface. An accurate analysis of both C1$s$ and O1$s$ photoemission (PE) spectra allows the respective adsorption heights of carbon and oxygen atoms in different chemical environments within PTCDA to be distinguished. Due to the intricacy of the PE fitting models, a systematic error analysis of NIXSW structural parameters was developed and employed. Based on the adsorption geometry of PTCDA on Ag(110) a bonding mechanism is discussed.
