title: Selective production of reactive and nonreactive oxygen atoms on Pd(001) by rotationally aligned oxygen molecules.
abstract: Sticking together: The occupation of different sites by oxygen atoms that are produced by the dissociation of O(2) on Pd(100) is determined by the initial rotational alignment of the parent molecules. The atom locations are characterized by different chemical reactivities in the reaction with CO to form CO(2) (see picture), which are followed by synchrotron radiation (SR) experiments with a supersonic molecular beam (SMB).
