A new UV reflection anisotropy spectrometer and its application to the Au(1 1 0)/electrolyte surface

Abstract

The development of a UV reflection anisotropy spectrometer has extended the current range of the reflection anisotropy spectrometry (RAS) technique to 7.0 eV. The extra range has been used to obtain the RAS of the Au(1 1 0)/electrolyte interface to 7.0 eV. The RA spectrum obtained for this interface is significantly different in the range 4.6 to 5.5 eV from the results obtained with the conventional instrument.
