## Description

- description: Probing the stereodynamics of a gas–surface interaction is a useful
    tool to investigate the mechanisms responsible for adsorption. Experimental results
    are provided on the adsorption of alignment-controlled O2 interacting with a Cu(111)
    surface for the first time, across a range of incident energies (65–550 meV) and
    angles of incidence (0–601). Molecules of O2 in a supersonic beam are prepared
    in a single spin rotational state, and aligned with a Cu(111) surface so that
    the rotational angular momentum of O2 is either parallel or perpendicular to the
    surface. A strong steric effect is observed, where the initial sticking probability
    is higher in the case of a ’side-on’ collision, with measurable adsorption appearing
    at normal incident energies of 100 meV. The onset of sticking occurs at incident
    energies of approximately 200 meV in the case of an ’end-on’ collision. The results
    also indicate that the adsorption of O2 on Cu(111) is predominantly due to an
    activated process in the energy range probed, corroborating previous experimental
    and theoretical results.
