Shear-Induced Exothermic Chemical Reactions
The structure of controlled high-strain-rate shear bands generated in Ti-Si reactive powders has been investigated by means of the radd symmetric collapse of a thick-walled cylinder. Shear localization developed at global strains of 0.2-0.4 and a strain rate of lo4 s-I. Within the shear bands, local shear strains were up to 100 9d local shear strain rates were lo7 s-'. Chemical reactions were i...
متن کاملFingerprints of energy dissipation for exothermic surface chemical reactions: O2 on Pd(100).
We present first-principles calculations of the sticking coefficient of O2 at Pd(100) to assess the effect of phononic energy dissipation on this kinetic parameter. For this, we augment dynamical simulations on six-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) representing the molecular degrees of freedom with various effective accounts of surface mobility. In comparison to the prevalent frozen-...
متن کاملNon-thermal desorption from interstellar dust grains via exothermic surface reactions
Context. xxx Aims. The gas-phase abundance of methanol in dark quiescent cores in the interstellar medium cannot be explained by gas-phase chemistry. In fact, the only possible synthesis of this species appears to be production on the surfaces of dust grains followed by desorption into the gas. Yet, evaporation is inefficient for heavy molecules such as methanol at the typical temperature of 10...
متن کاملSurface reactions on demand: electrochemical control of SAM-based reactions.
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are well-ordered, single-molecule-thick structures in two dimensions, which form spontaneously at interfaces (usually at solid surfaces). SAMs have been used for controlling physical properties of interfaces, such as wetting, adhesion, lubrication, and corrosion, as well as understanding fundamental aspects of interfacial phenomena. In addition, SAMs comprise an...
متن کاملSurface Nano-Structuring by Adsorption and Chemical Reactions
Nano-structuring of the surface caused by adsorption of molecules or atoms and by the reaction of surface atoms with adsorbed species are reviewed from a chemistry viewpoint. Self-assembly of adsorbed species is markedly influenced by weak mutual interactions and the local strain of the surface induced by the adsorption. Nano-structuring taking place on the surface is well explained by the noti...
