Abstract

The Rh(110) surface was investigated using reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS). This optical method is shown to be sensitive to adsorbate-induced reconstructions of the Rh(110) metal surface. The reflection anisotropy can be used to monitor adsorption/desorption cycles of oxygen. The results are interpreted using the known substrate geometry of nitrogendashand oxygendashinduced reconstructions of Rh(110). The technological relevance of RAS is discussed.
