Abstract

Angular resolved UPS measurements have been performed on the (√2 × √2)R45° and compressed structures of the adsorption system CO/Ni(100). Due to the operation of dipole selection rules the dependence of normal exit photoemission on angle of photon incidence is found to be a sensitive probe of initial state symmetry. The polar angular dependence of emission from the 4σ orbital follows closely that predicted by Davenport, provided that a correction for refraction and total photoelectron current conservation is applied. Such polar angular dependences show band shifts indicative of dispersion effects, which become more marked at higher CO coverages. An azimuthal angular dependence of emission was not observed despite the presence of ordered adlayers.
