Description

Substrate core chemical shifts upon chemisorption of oxygen on aluminum are observed using variable-excitation-energy photoelectron spectroscopy. At low exposures a unique intermediate oxidation state evolves where the Al 2p level is shifted by only 1.3 eV toward higher binding energy as compared to the 2.6-eV shift observed for heavily oxidized aluminum (Al2O3). Simultaneous observation of the O 2p resonance shows evidence for a sharp phase change at exposures close to monolayer formation
