The initial growth kinetics for SiH, chemical vapor deposition of Si on SiO, at low temperature (500-600 “C) have been revealed using rapid thermal UHV-CVD, together with in situ H2 thermal desorption spectroscopy to titrate the amount of exposed Si surface. In the few mTorr pressure range, the reaction is heterogeneous, i.e., dominated by surface reaction. Below -0.7 monolayer Si coverage, the...

In this work, adsorption kinetics were investigated in order to remove the acid blue 62 off the aqueous solutions using mesoporous silicate SBA-15 loaded with tannic acid (tannin-SBA-15). Nitrogen adsorption and desorption test (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis characterize synthesized composite. The impacts of some parameters such as P...

Novel approaches to efficient ammonia synthesis at an ambient pressure are actively sought out so as to reduce the cost of ammonia production and to allow for compact production facilities. It is accepted that the key is the development of a high-performance catalyst that significantly enhances dissociation of the nitrogen-nitrogen triple bond, which is generally considered a rate-determining s...

The research is designed to improve measurement of fast fragmentation kinetics of surface activated ions, to improve our understanding of how ions fragment and how energy transfers in collisions of ions with surfaces. A new technique, silicon nano-particle assisted laser desorption/ionization (SPALDI), was developed recently and allowed investigation of the kinetics of surfaceinduced dissociati...

Temperature programed desorption has been used to study the desorption kinetics and desorption energies of a set of alcohols and fluorinated alcohols adsorbed on an a-CHx film. The alcohols serve as models for the hydroxyl end groups of Fomblin Zdol, the lubricant most commonly used with the amorphous carbon overcoats sputtered onto the surfaces of magnetic data storage disks. Temperature progr...

Adsorption of water on a thin silica film grown on a Mo(112) single crystal was studied by temperatureprogrammed desorption, infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, and photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. Water does not dissociate on the defect-free oxygen-terminated silica surface. In contrast to adsorption at 100 K, where water follows a zero-order desorption kinetics...

The autoignition of the catalytic reaction of hydrogen/air mixtures on thin palladium wires is analyzed in this paper. The reduced heterogeneous kinetics is modeled with a mechanism that includes the dissociative adsorption of both reactants, together with three surface reactions of the Langmuir–Hinshelwood type, and the desorption reaction of the adsorbed product, H2O(s). We show that for the ...

In this paper, we have modeled and analyzed affinities and kinetics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) adsorption (and desorption) on various surface chemical groups using multiple self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) functionalized film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) array. The high-frequency and micro-scale resonator provides improved sensitivity in the detections of VOCs at trace levels. With ...
