We have studied the interaction of molecular nitrogen with thin iron films on W(110), Pd(111) and Rh(111) using angular resolved spectroscopy (ARUPS). Iron layers on W(110) with thicknesses of up to 2 layers are strained thereby acquiring the lattice constant of the substrate. Also a moire like superstructure has been studied. In contrast to results obtained for Fe(110) we find molecular adsorption at low temperatures as well as dissociation of nitrogen molecules on strained Fe/W(110). In agreement with calculations we find an upward shift of the iron 3d band density which might be the reason for the enhanced reactivity of Fe/W(110) as compared to Fe(110). In order to study the influence of the substrate on the interaction with nitrogen we have investigated films with different thickness. Iron layers on Pd(lll) and Rh(lll) have been studied since the strain of pseudomorphic iron films on these substrates is intermediate between that of Fe/W(110) and unstrained Fe(110). We fmd the formation of surface compounds and iron diffusion into the substrate at elevated temperatures. The chemical activity of the compound films is intermediate between those of pseudomorphic Fe on W(110) and Fe(110).
