Using the reverse flash (RF) method, the sticking coefficient and binding energy of CO molecules on Rh(100) are obtained for CO surface densities up to 1.2×1015 cm−2. The presence of weakly bound CO molecules with a binding energy of 0.34 eV is detected at n>1.0×1015 cm−2. Mass-to-charge-resolved retarding potential analysis of CO+ emitted from Rh(100) is performed and absolute values of CO+ field ion appearance energy obtained. By applying a thermionic cycle field-dependent values of the binding energy of CORh(100) at high coverages are obtained. A comparison of field-free (RF) results and field ion appearance energy spectroscopy (FIAES) data reveals the weakly bound (field-stabilized) CO layer as the origin of CO+ field ions emitted from Rh(100) for field ion imaging.
