We present a comparative study of the carbide-modified surfaces C/Mo(100) and C/Mo(110) using synchrotron-based high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HR-XPS), with the objective of elucidating the differences and similarities of the two crystal facets depending on the C/Mo ratio. We are interested in changes at the surface due to exposure to carbon and oxygen right at the temperature sufficient to drive carbon into the interstitial sites of the Mo lattice. Carburization by dosing ethylene, i.e. carbide preparation, and subsequent oxidative carbon removal by dosing O2 at 1200 K is followed in great detail through careful analysis of the C 1s, Mo 3d and O 1s core levels. We show that the thin carbide overlayers show spectroscopic differences compared to the thick carbides obtained at high carbon dose. Furthermore we show that the carbide thickness on Mo(110) influences the adsorption properties towards H2 and CO, pointing towards the importance of the surface structure for reactivity.
