Abstract

The topmost and inner layer structures of Ru(0001)-(2 × 2)-O have been determined by surface X-ray diffraction. The periodical peaks near integer positions were observed along the fractional order rod. Adsorbed oxygen causes relaxation and rumpling in the deeper layer as well as in the topmost layer. Atomic displacement from the bulk position decreases exponentially with depth below the second layer. The topmost Ru−Ru interlayer spacing and Ru−O bond length are consistent with those obtained from DFT calculations and dynamical LEED measurements reported previously.
