Photoemission study on natural oxidation of Cu$$_{3}$$Au with synchrotron radiation

Sowa, Makoto*; Yamazaki, Daichi*; Okada, Michio*; Yoshigoe, Akitaka ; Teraoka, Yuden; Kasai, Toshio*

Native oxide at Cu$$_{3}$$Au(110) surface has been studied by high energy-resolution X-ray photoemission spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. The clean surface of Cu$$_{3}$$Au(110) is terminated by Au and Cu atoms with equal contents. After oxidation in the air, Cu atoms segregated on the surface and the Cu-oxide was formed. In other words, Au atoms moved into the bulk. Au atoms below the oxide prevented the O atom diffusion into the bulk. Surface index dependences of natural oxidation suggested in every cases that the diffusion of Cu atoms contributed to the oxide formation.
