摘要: Abstract Vibrational spectroscopy has been used to study the interaction at room temperature of H 2 O with ultrathin alkali films grown on Cu(1 1 1), Ni(1 1 1) and Ag/Ni(1 1 1). We find strongly enhanced dissociation efficiency in monolayer regime Na/Cu(1 1 1), indicative an active role existing Na-derived quantum wells hydrolysis. No water adsorption observed for alkalis (Na, K) adsorbed Ni(1 1 1), very likely due absence electron confinement these systems. On other hand, partial revealed K-doped silver thin layers presence Ag 5sp-derived wells.
