Thermodynamics of initial stage of oxygen adsorption on surface of amorphous aluminum-cerium alloy

Abstract

An equation is proposed to connect the characteristics of the energy and the surface level population on pure and oxidized metal surface with the value of heat of the physical absorption of oxygen. The electron structure is studied of pure and oxidized surface of the amorphous Al-8 at. % Ce alloy by analyzing the results of modeling the optical conductivity obtained from the optical experiment data. The conductivity band of the alloy is shown to be split. The heat value is calculated from the oxygen absorption on the amorphous alloy surface.
