Description

The azimuthal variations in the photoemission cross section for the le molecular orbital of NH3 adsorbed on Ni(111) are used to identify the angular orientation of the adsorbed molecules. From comparison of experiment and theory, it is possible to determine the NH-bond directions relative to the substrate. In addition, it is found that the observed strong azimuthal anisotropy comes mainly from direct interference of emissions from the le molecular orbital rather than from back-scattering off the substrate
