Abstract
Ultraviolet photoelectron and thermal-desorption spectroscopy data showed that water molecules dissociate under ultrahigh vacuum on the surface of a single-layer alumina film formed on Mo (110) and maintained at a low temperature, and they are desorbed during subsequent thermally stimulated recombination as hydrogen, water, and oxygen. Several recombination channels of adsorbed particles are due to the complete decomposition of water molecules and the metastable single-layer oxide film incompletely formed from Al(3 – x)+–O(2 – y)– interionic bonds and its specific interaction with H, O, and OH particles.
