Abstract
The adsorption of bromide on an Ag(001) electrode has been investigated using in situ x-ray scattering methods. With increasing potential, the bromide undergoes a second order phase transition from a lattice gas to an ordered structure. The order parameter is consistent with the 2D Ising model prediction . A comparison of x-ray and electrochemical measurements indicates significant lateral disorder at low coverages which decreases with increasing coverage.
