Résumé

The Au(332) and Au(776) facets forming on Au(554) and Au(775) faceted vicinal faces have different electrochemical behaviours. The electrochemical study in NaF solutions of the Au(776) face reveals that the whole of the (111) steps of an Au(776) surface have the same electrochemical behaviour as the Au(332) face. On the other hand, the (111) terraces of Au(776) behave differently from the large (111) terraces of an Au(111) single-crystal electrode. The atomic reconstruction of the (111) terraces of the Au(776) facets, observed by vacuum STM, completely disappears in contact with the solution, whereas the reconstruction of the wide (111) terraces of a Au(111) single-crystal does not disappear completely. Measurements of the differential capacity C(E) also showed that faceted or non-faceted surfaces of Au(554) and Au(775) faces had the same electrochemical behaviour. This implies that non-faceted surfaces consist of Au(332) and Au(111)(1 x 1) domains that have independent electrochemical behaviours.
