Abstract

Given that the first experimental observations of the electronic energy levels of an adsorbate-covered metallic surface were published only 15 years ago and that it was not until 1971 that the first photoemission spectrum of an adsorbate was obtained,(1) remarkable progress has occurred over the past decade in understanding, on a microscopic level, the phenomenon of adsorption.(2) The purpose of these notes is not to review the field exhaustively, but instead to provide a perspective on some key issues and their possible resolutions which might be relevant to atomistics-of-fracture-related surface phenomena, in the hope that those readers most interested in fracture will come away with both a feeling for what types of answers the surface-science community can provide and also with a better intuition of the microscopic basis of adsorption.
