Description
Summary:Pd, Au, and Pd−Au mixtures were deposited via physical vapor deposition onto a Mo(110) substrate, and the surface concentration and morphology of the Pd−Au mixtures were determined by low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEISS), infrared absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Pd−Au mixtures form a stable alloy between 700 and 1000 K with substantial enrichment in Au compared to the bulk composition. Annealing a 1:1 Pd−Au mixture at 800 K leads to the formation of a surface alloy with a composition Au0.8Pd0.2 where Pd is predominantly surrounded by Au. The surface concentration of this isolated Pd site can be systematically controlled by altering the bulk Pd−Au alloy concentration.
