Herein we report the results of our detailed studies on the initial oxidation process, especially the CuO formation, on Cu(410). From the high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS), the CuO formation is verified at a high temperature for the thermal O exposure. However, from the X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) measurements in conjunction with synchrotron radiation (SR), the efficiency of CuO formation is quite low for the thermal O exposure. On the other hand, it was found on Cu(410) that hyperthermal O molecular beams (HOMB) at 2.2eV is an efficient tool for the fabrication of CuO even at room temperature or at lower temperatures. The O-1s and valence-band XPS spectra clearly demonstrate the characteristic features of CuO formation induced by HOMB. Furthermore, such CuO formation depends strongly on the azimuthal direction of the incident HOMB, impinging dominantly on a terrace or on a step.

We have investigated the effect of the internally excited oxygen molecules in the oxygen dissociation processes on Cu(111), (110), (100) surfaces. All experiments were performed using the SUREAC2000, an experimental end-station installed at a soft X-ray synchrotron radiation (SR) beamline (BL23SU) in the SPring-8. The hyperthermal oxygen molecular beam (HOMB) was continuously generated by the adiabatic expansion of the O, He and Ar. After the irradiation of a proper amount of HOMB, SR-XPS spectra were measured at 300 K. We found that the initial sticking probabilities on the all copper surfaces were enhanced under the higher nozzle temperature of 1400 K. It is well known that the higher nozzle temperature can change the population of vibrationally excited O molecules. It suggests that the vibrational degrees of freedom of O molecules affect their reactivity as they hit the copper surfaces.
