Abstract
From an interplay between scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, a comprehensive picture is obtained for oxygen adsorption on the Pt(110)-(1 x 2) surface, from single isolated oxygen atoms chemisorbed in FCC sites along the platinum ridges to the formation of a new high-coverage oxide-like structure with a local coverage of two oxygen atoms per platinum surface atom. We find that the repulsive O-O interactions for the O/Pt(110) system are compensated by an effective O-O attractive interaction originating from a strong coupling between oxygen adsorption and platinum lattice distortions.
