Curiously, H2 desorption from Si~100!-231 follows approximately first-order kinetics rather than the expected second-order kinetics, arousing interest about the mechanism involved in the desorption process. We investigate the energetics and rate constants of three proposed mechanisms for H2 desorption from Si~100!231, namely, the prepairing mechanism, the isomerization mechanism, and the isolat...

Desorption of benzene (C6H6) from solid water surfaces [compact amorphous solid water (c-ASW) and crystalline ice (CI)] during irradiation of ultrathin solid films with low energy (250-300 eV) electrons has been investigated. The observed desorption behaviour is complex but typically two desorption components, with particularly large cross-sections, were present in the observed signal. A fast c...

Unique physical properties such as small effective mass, high electron drift velocities, high electron mobility and small band gap energy make InN a candidate for applications in highspeed microelectronic and optoelectronic devices. The aim of this research is to understand the surface properties, desorption kinetics and thermal stability of InN epilayers that affect the growth processes and de...

To improve the coal permeability and outburst prevention, coal seam water injection and a series of outburst prevention measures were tested in outburst coal mines. These methods have become important technologies used for coal and gas outburst prevention and control by increasing the external moisture of coal or decreasing the stress of coal seam and changing the coal pore structure and gas de...

Desorption or evaporation is one of the mechanisms for loss of perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPE) lubricants from the surfaces of data storage media. One approach to minimizing PFPE loss to desorption is the use of lubricants with increasing molecular weight or increasing average chain length. In order to understand the effects of chain length on the lubricant evaporation kinetics we have studied t...

Ion induced desorption is a severe luminosity limitation for low charge state heavy ion accelerators. Therefore, it was intensively investigated in dedicated experiments during recent years. Several experimental results were obtained providing numerous desorption yields for different ion beam parameters and different materials as well as surface treatments. The heavy ion induced desorption was ...

The desorption behavior of cationic-nonionic surfactant mixtures, tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride (TTAC) and pentadecylethoxylated nonyl phenol (NP-15), at the alumina-water interface was studied. It has been found that while nonionic NP-15 itself does not adsorb at alumina-water interface, it will do so with cationic TTAC preadsorbed at the interface. During the desorption process, howeve...

Introduction X-ray standing waves (XSW) using electrons and fluorescence photons as secondary signals has become a standard technique to determine adsorbate structures. However, when a sample is irradiated by intense light, desorption of ions is also a frequently observed phenomenon which is known as photon-stimulated desorption (PSD). But, this signal is of a fundamentally different physical n...

Adsorption to GAC is an effective ·method for removing high explosives (HE) compounds from water, but no permanent treatment is achieved. Bioregeneration, which treats adsorbed contaminants by desorption and biodegradation, is being developed as a method for reducing GAC usage rates and permanently degrading RDX and HMX. Because desorption is often the limiting mass transfer mechanism in bioreg...

A study to determine the structure and activity relationships of various amine based CO2 absorbents was performed in which, the desorption of CO2 from saturated absorbent at 80 C and atmospheric pressure was measured to assess the initial desorption rate and desorption capacities at pseudo equilibrium. Evaluation of desorption capacity at 80 C will give a better understanding for more energy ef...
