Popis: The adsorption of oxygen and the resultant O-induced surface reconstructions are key components in heterogeneously catalyzed reactions on silver metal surfaces. O uptake and reconstructions on planar Ag(111) are well-characterized, and in this paper, we show that curved Ag(111) features similar O adsorption and reconstructions. Through a systematic scanning tunneling microscope study of a curved Ag(111) single crystal exposed to gas-phase atomic oxygen at a temperature of 525 K, we observed O a d and, upon higher coverages, saw p( 4 × 4) and p( 4 × 5 √ 3) reconstructions form on both the A-type and B-type steps. Exposures at low temperatures (
