We have investigated oxygen adsorption on Cu(410) by high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, dosing O-2 with a supersonic molecular beam at different surface temperatures and for different angles of incidence and beam energies or by backfilling. In the investigated crystal temperature range (127 < T < 570 K), adsorption is always dissociative. Depending on T, impact energy, and angle of incidence, the oxygen atoms end up in different adsorption configurations, characterized by different vibrational signatures. In particular, at grazing incidence when only the step edge is exposed to O-2, the adatoms end up initially preferentially at the step edge. An ordered overlayer forms at half monolayer coverage when the adsorbate is mobile. Oxide patches develop eventually for large exposures performed by backfilling and at high crystal temperature.
