Abstract
The adsorption site and vibrational energies of CO on a clean Ag(001) surface were determined using scanning tunneling microscopy, inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy with a scanning tunneling microscope, and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. The CO molecules were found to adsorb on the atop site of the Ag(001) surface, which was similar to their adsorption on the Cu(001) surface. The vibrational energy of the CO internal stretching mode was found to be 263 meV, which is only 3 meV less than that of CO in the gas phase. This result indicates that the CO molecules chemisorb very weakly on the Ag(001) surface.
