Phosphine and its coadsorption with D2O on Rh(100)

  • 1. Univ. of Texas, Austin

Description

The interaction of PH3 with Rh(100) has been investigated by X-ray photoelectron and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopies. Even at 100 K on Rh(100) and 25 K on Ni(100), the adsorption of PH3 is partly dissociative. Adsorbed phosphorus and phosphine are readily distinguished by XPS. Molecular and dissociated PH3 can be distinguished in UPS. Coadsorption studies show no evidence for H-D exchange between D2O and PH3. Preadsorbed D2O partially inhibits PH3 dissociation. The He II UPS spectra of multilayer PH3, measured at 25 K, are readily correlated with existing gas-phase data. 40 references, 6 figures, 1 table
