Abstract

The multiple-scattering cluster (MSC) method has been used to calculate the sulphur 1s near edge X-ray absorption fine structure of SO2 adsorbed on the Ni(111). The local adsorption structure of S02/Ni(111) was determined by a direct comparison between MSC calculation and the experimental NEXAFS spectra. This study confirms the flat-lying structure and shows that the fee three-fold hollow site is the most preferable adsorption site. It has been shown that the O - S intramolecular bond length is elongated by (0.007 ± 0.002) nm, 〈OSO bond angle is reduced by 10° after adsorption, and the adsorption heihgt is (0.20 ± 0.02)nm.
