Abstract
UV-photoelectron spectra of xenon adsorbed on a series of homogeneous transition metal surfaces demonstrate a strict correlation between the Xe 5p 3 2 , 1/2 electron binding energies (referred to the substrate Fermi level) and the work function of the substrate. The same concept holds for xenon adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces. The effect is interpreted in terms of a pure dipole shift of the Xe 5p 3 2 , 1/2 states and has been utilized to titrate the relative abundance of different crystallographic facets on a polycrystalline palladium foil.
