Surface temperature dependence of oxidation of Cu$$_{3}$$Au(111) by an energetic oxygen molecule

Tsuda, Yasutaka*; Yoshigoe, Akitaka ; Teraoka, Yuden; Okada, Michio*

We report a study on the surface-temperature ($$T_{s}$$) dependence of oxidation process at Cu$$_{3}$$Au(111) by using a hyperthermal oxygen molecular beam and synchrotron-radiation X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The O-1s spectra and the corresponding O-uptake curves demonstrate that Cu$$_{2}$$O domains grow effectively at high $$T_{s}$$ of 400 and 500 K. The simple analysis of the O distribution suggests that the temperature-induced atomic diffusion causes the Cu$$_{2}$$O domains growing thicker at 500 K. The oxidation of Cu$$_{3}$$Au(111) is less efficient at $$T_{s}$$ = 300-500 K than that of Cu(111), demonstrating that the protective nature of Cu$$_{3}$$Au against oxidation, in comparison to Cu, remains even at high $$T_{s}$$.
