The interaction of water with the nonpolar TiC(100) face has been probed as a function of surface temperature over the range 98-773 K. Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) has been used to monitor the desorption products as a function of coverage while high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) has been used to probe the nature of adsorbed species as a function of surface temperature. Together, these molecularly specific probes reveal the presence of both molecularly and dissociatively adsorbed water in the monolayer regime at cryogenic temperatures. Furthermore, both Ti and C surface atoms participate in the dissociation of water and lead to the production of a complex array of surface species. With increasing surface temperature, the desorption species D2O, CO, CO2, and D-2 are observed over a broad temperature range. The desorption of CO and CO2 demonstrates the consumption of carbon from the TiC surface while the desorption of D-2 is thought to be related to presence of carbon vacancies known to exist within this and other metal carbides.
