报告摘要：

　　In the past decades, Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS) has emerged as a very powerful tool for characterizing molecular adsorbates on metal surfaces. Until recently, however, the low reflectivity in the infrared regime of metal oxides rendered this important spectroscopic technique practically useless for this important class of materials. As a result, the application of the so-called Surface-Science approach to understand heterogeneous catalysis on oxides could not be applied directly. The situation changed as a result of progress in instrumentation achieved over the last years and today IRRAS-data for adsorbates on dielectric substrates can be measured in an almost routine fashion.

　　In this talk we will present the first IRRAS data for two important oxides, ZnO and CeO2. For the case of ZnO we will demonstrate for two adsorbates, CO and CO2, that IRRAS studies on oxide samples allow for a direct experimental determination of the adsorbate geometry, when considering all three components of the incident polarized light separately as well as performing azimuth dependent measurements. As regards IRRAS on dielectric substrates, it is crucial to consider that the so-called “surface selection rule” governing IRRAS on oxides does not apply. As a result, the interpretation of IRRAS-data is more complicated, yet allows extracting much more information by using s- and p-polarized light as well as different incident directions (see Fig. 1). We will illustrate the potential of this method using the example of carbon dioxide adsorbed on ZnO(10-10), where we find an upright standing tridentate carbonate species oriented along the (0001)-direction. In the case of CeO2(111) single crystals, we will show that also on this surface CO can be used as a probe molecule to determine vacancy concentrations on ceria surfaces. Finally, we will show for TiO2 and ZnO that IRRAS can also be used to study electrons in polaronic trap states, an important intermediate in photochemistry.
