Abstract

The interaction of water with Ge(100) has been studied by high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). Contrary to the silicon case, water does not stick on Ge(100) at room temperature at least for exposures as high as 100 langmuirs. When the sample is taken to 100 K, both molecular and dissociated water are present even for 0.1 L exposure. After heating the water exposed sample to 300 K only OH and H modes are present, suggesting a complete water dissociation.
