“…[1][2][3][4] Several experimental techniques have been used to investigate the geometry of this structure: electron stimulated desorption ion angular distribution, electron energy-loss spectroscopy, RAIRS ͑reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy͒, XPD ͑x-ray photoelectron diffraction͒, ARPEFS ͑angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy fine structure͒, tensor LEED ͑low-energy electron diffraction͒, near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure, and STM ͑scanning tunneling microscopy͒. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Agreement has been reached on the geometrical structure of the adsorbed overlayer: CO molecules are arranged in a zigzag fashion along the ͓110͔ crystallographic direction, with their axes tilted from the surface normal alternatively towards the ͓001͔ and the ͓001͔ directions, the value of the tilt angle varying from 13°to 27°. 5,6,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] On the other hand, in spite of the large number of experiments performed, the determination of the adsorption site has been controversial: both ''atop'' and ''short-bridge'' sites have been proposed for CO adsorption on Ni͑110͒ ͑Refs.…”
