要旨:
We report measurements to investigate the effects of mechanical strain on the binding energy of carbon monoxide (CO) on the (111) surface of a 16 nm thin film of palladium (Pd) grown on rutile titanium dioxide (r-TiO2). The lattice mismatch between Pd and the r-TiO2 leads to a tensile mechanical in-plane stress in the Pd layer of approximately 0.38 GPa. We observe an increase of (40 ± 10) kJ mol–1 in the CO binding energy for the 16 nm sample compared to a bulk Pd(111) crystal, which is in qualitative agreement with expectations based on the d-band model.
