Reasons from surface thermodynamics, adsorption coverage, work function, and probe escape depth through XPS/ARPES, LEED I(V) and CTR analysis, STM/AFM, TPD with Redhead analysis, and DFT slabs while treating adventitious-carbon contamination, differential charging, electron-beam and tip-induced damage, and UHV-to-operando extrapolation as first-class failure modes.
