Hyperthermal Ar atoms were scattered under grazing incidence (θ(i) = 60°) from a CO-saturated Ru(0001) surface held at 180 K. Collision-induced desorption involving the ejection of fast CO (∼1 eV) occurs. The angularly resolved in-plane CO desorption distribution has a peak along the surface normal. However, the angular distribution varies with the fractional coverage of the surface. As the tot...

Recent experimental results about the formation of molecular hydrogen on astrophysically relevant surfaces under conditions close to those encountered in the interstellar medium are analyzed using rate equations. The parameters of the rate equation model are fitted to temperature-programmed desorption curves obtained in the laboratory. These parameters are the activation energy barriers for ato...

Highly efficient electron stimulated desorption of O+ from gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) surfaces annealed at 850 K in ultrahigh vacuum is observed and investigated. O+ desorption has a major threshold of approximately 40 eV and an intrinsic kinetic energy of approximately 5.6 eV. Since the threshold energy is close to Ce 5s and Gd 5s core levels, Auger decay of core holes is likely associated wi...

Natural Products, Physiologically Active Saponins, Sequencing of Underivatized Oligoglycosides, Field Desorption Mass Spectrometry The use of field desorption mass spectrometry is demonstrated not only for molecular weight determination but also for detailed structural analysis of large, underivatized natural products. Owing to cationization by small alkali salt impurities, saponins carrying on...

Conventional supported Pt catalysts have often been prepared by loading Pt onto commercial supports, such as SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, and carbon. These catalysts usually have simple metal-support (i.e., Pt-SiO2) interfaces. To tune the catalytic performance of supported Pt catalysts, it is desirable to modify the metal-support interfaces by incorporating an oxide additive into the catalyst formula. H...

In heavy ion synchrotrons like SIS 18 high energetic ions can impact on the beam pipe and release gas molecules. This so called ”ion induced desorption” deteriorates the accelerator vacuum and, as a consequence, the beam life time and luminosity. Desorption yields η (released gas atoms or molecules per incident ion) of various materials have been studied at GSI since 2003. A scaling of the deso...

Ion exchange at charged solid-liquid interfaces is central to a broad range of chemical and transport phenomena. Real-time observations of adsorption/desorption at the molecular-scale elucidate exchange reaction pathways. Here we report temporal variation in the distribution of Rb+ species at the muscovite (001)-water interface during exchange with Na+. Time-resolved resonant anomalous X-ray re...

Laser desorption of aniline-d7 from a single-crystal surface 0001 of sapphire Al2O3 at a heating rate on the order of 108 K/s was studied using pulsed infrared laser radiation for desorption and resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization REMPI for detection of the desorbed aniline molecules. On the basis of single-vibronic-level fluorescence SVLF spectra we unambigiously assign the 10b transitio...

In order to screen a suitable resin for the preparative simultaneous separation and purification of syringin, eleutheroside E and isofraxidin from Acanthopanax senticosus, the adsorption and desorption properties of 17 widely used commercial macroporous resins were evaluated. According to our results, HPD100C, which adsorbs by the molecular tiers model, was the best macroporous resin, offering ...

The garden grass (GG) was firstly used to remove copper(II) from water as bioadsorbent. From the results of characterisation, the GG had the merits of high specific surface area, significant adsorption sites and functional groups. Copper-adsorption significantly depends on the initial copper concentrations, contact time, pH, adsorbent doses, particle sizes and temperature. The positive values o...
