UPD反応により作成したAgバイレーヤー上でのAg/AgCl反応について、EQCM, STM, SXS及び電気化学測定を用いて追跡した。その結果、最初Cl-が()構造でAg上に吸着し、次に()R13.9の構造をもつAgCl層を形成することがわかった。さらにAgCl層は(44)構造に変化した。

Ag/AgCl reaction at the Ag bilayer, which was underpotentially prepared on a Au(111) surface, was investigated using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), surface X-ray scattering (SXS), and electrochemical techniques. When the potential was scanned positively from -200 mV, the Cl ion was adsorbed on the Au(111) electrode surface around 0 mV, and then the phase transition of the adsorbed Cl ion layer from random orientation to ( ) structure took place at around +130 mV. The Ag bilayer and Cl ions were oxidatively reacted to form the AgCl monolayer with ( ) 13.9 structure around +200 mV, accompanied with the formation of AgCl monocrystalline clusters on the AgCl monolayer surface. The structure of the AgCl monolayer on the Au(111) surface was changed from ( )R13.9 structure to (44) structure around +500 mV.
