Abstract

We have studied the coverage-temperature phase diagram of chemisorbed oxygen on Ni(100) with LEED and AES. We find that the oxygen p(2 × 2) structure undergoes a nearly reversible order- disorder phase transition for coverages between 0.15 and 0.30 monolayer (Tc ≈ 560 K for θ = 0.25). For these coverages, it is also found that the chemisorbed oxygen begins dissolving into the bulk nickel as the overlayer disorders. A reversible order-disorder transition is not seen for the oxygen c(2 × 2) structure, but there is evidence that bulk dissolution here also occurs coincident with the overlayer disordering.
