RHEED and Auger study of the MoO3(010) surface interaction with H2S/H2 mixture and pure H2S

Pure single crystals of MoO₃ were carefully grown by physical vapor transport. The initial stages of the interaction of H₂S with a MoO₃ (010) surface were studied by RHEED and AES at low pressure p <133 Pa and at T < 700 K. Three main stages were found: (a) The formation of either a completely disordered sulphur adiayer (with pure H₂S) or a superstructure MoO₃(010)-[2 × 1]S (with H₂S/H₂). (b) A reduction of MoO₃ producing oriented three-dimensional MoO₂ islands, (c) An epitaxial overgrowth of MoS₂ from the MoO₂ three-dimensional crystallites.

Adsorption of H2S,H2O and O2 on Si(111) surfaces

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy has been applied to the study of Si(111) surfaces covered with H₂S, H₂O and O₂ at room temperature and the surfaces annealed at ～ 600°C. The experimental results strongly suggest that H₂S and H₂O adsorb in the molecular states at room temperature. It is proposed that O₂ is first adsorbed in a molecular state, then adsorbs as atoms, and finally oxidizes forming SiO₂.     

The decomposition of H2S on Ni(110)

Adsorbed H₂S decomposes on Ni(110) to form primarily surface S and H for coverages of less than 0.5 ML. The hydrogen evolves in two separate TPD peaks, characteristic of hydrogen recombination and desorption from the clean surface and from regions perturbed by chemisorbed sulfur. XPS and HREELS indicate the presence of SH and possibly H₂S groups on the surface at 110 K. The XPS data indicates that for coverages less than about 0.5 ML, the concentration of molecular H₂S is small, but it is difficult to asess the coverage of SH groups. However, all of the molecular species decompose prior to hydrogen desorption (for high coverage, 180 K). Physisorbed H₂S is observed on the surface for coverages greater than about 0.5 ML.

The sulfur Auger lineshape was observed to be a function of both coverage and temperature. The changes in the lineshape were attributed to perturbations in local bonding interactions between the S and the Ni surface, perhaps involving some change in either bonding sites or distances but not involving SH bond scission.

The decomposition reaction was modeled using a bond order conservation method which successfully reproduced the experimental results.

Adsorption and decomposition of H2S on the Ge(100) surface

The adsorption and decomposition of H₂S on the Ge(100) surface is investigated. H₂S is a simple sulfur containing molecule that eventually decomposes to yield hydrogen gas and deposits sulfur on the germanium surface. The surface reactions of H₂S are investigated by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, and temperature programmed desorption. Room temperature exposure of H₂S to Ge(100) results in dissociative adsorption which can be followed easily by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. Warming the H₂S exposed surface results in some molecular desorption and further decomposition of the adsorbed species. At saturation, 0.25 ML of H₂S decomposes generating 0.5 ML of atomic hydrogen. Above the hydrogen desorption temperature some etching of the germanium surface is observed by sulfur. The etch product, GeS, is subsequently observed in temperature programmed desorption experiments. Exposure of H₂S to the Ge surface at elevated temperatures leads to higher sulfur coverages. A sulfur coverage approaching 0.5 ML can be deposited at the higher exposure temperatures.     

Measurement and analysis of the ν2 band of H2S: Comparison among several reduced forms of the rotational Hamiltonian

The frequencies of 123 lines between 1080 and 1260 cm^?1 in the ν₂ band of H₂S were measured with a tunable diode laser and a grating spectrometer. Ground- and upper-state molecular constants appropriate to Watson's A reduced Hamiltonian in the I^r coordinate representation were obtained from a simultaneous fit of the ν₂ band data and previously measured H₂S rotational microwave frequencies. This fit had a standard deviation comparable to the experimental uncertainties. The A reduced Hamiltonian in the III^r representation, however, was found to fit the data very poorly. The large value of the transformation parameter s₁₁₁ calculated for the A reduced Hamiltonian in the III^r representation confirms that this result is due to the slow convergence of this particular reduced Hamiltonian.     

LEED and AES study of the interaction of H2S and Mo (100)

Previous studies of the adsorption of H₂S on Mo (100) at low pressures have been extended to higher pressures. Earlier work was repeated on two separate crystals to ensure reproducibility. The initial rate of sulphure adsorption as measured by AES is proportional to the partial pressure of H₂S and not strongly dependent on temperature indicating a non-activated initial process. For pressures up to 10^?2Torr no MoS₂ nuclei were seen over a wide range of temperatures. The first appearance of MoS₂occurred after an exposure of 0.1 Torr H₂S for 30 min with the crystal at 500°C. Diffraction from the MoS₂ was weak indicating that the nuclei were not fully developed. Four-fold symmetrical streaks from the underlying metal could be seen, thus enabling the epitaxy to be deduced by inspection. The basal plane of MoS₂aligns parallel to the original Mo (100) surface with [100]MoS₂∥[010] forming one domain and [100]MoS₂∥[001]Mo forming another. The change from a 2D chemisorbed sulphur layer to a 3D bulk compound produces significant changes in Auger spectra at low energies.     

Vibrational study of silicon oxidation: H2O on Si(100)

The vibrational spectrum of water dissociatively adsorbed on Si(100) surfaces is obtained with surface infrared absorption spectroscopy. Low frequency spectra (< 1450 cm⁻¹ are acquired using a buried CoSi₂ layer as an internal mirror to perform external reflection spectroscopy. On clean Si(100), water dissociates into H and OH surface species as evidenced by EELS results [1] in the literature which show a Si---H stretching vibration (2082 cm⁻¹), and SiO---H vibrations (O---H stretch at 3660 cm⁻¹ and the Si---O---H bend and Si---O stretch of the hydroxyl group centered around 820 cm⁻¹). In this paper, infrared (IR) measurements are presented which confirm and resolve the issue of a puzzling isotopic shift for the Si---O mode of the surface hydroxyl group, namely, that the Si---O stretch of the O---H surface species formed upon H₂O exposure occurs at 825 cm⁻¹, while the Si---O stretch of the ---OD surface species formed upon D₂O exposure shifts to 840 cm⁻¹, contrary to what is expected for simple reduced mass arguments. The higher resolution of IR measurements versus typical EELS measurements makes it possible to identify a new mode at 898 cm⁻¹, which is an important piece of evidence in understanding the anomalous frequency shift. By comparing the results of measurements for adsorption of H¹⁶₂O, H¹⁸₂O and D₂O with the results from recently performed first-principles calculations, it can be shown that a strong vibrational interaction between the Si---O stretching and Si---O---H bending functional group vibrations of the hydroxyl group accounts for the observed isotopic shifts.     

Analysis of ν2 of H2S

The infrared absorption spectrum of ν₂ of H₂S in the region from 1000 to 1500 cm^?1 was obtained with a resolution limit of <0.05 cm^?1 on the University of Denver 50-cm FTIR spectrometer system. We have assigned 387 lines due to H₂³²S, 75 lines due to H₂³⁴S, and 15 lines due to H₂³³S, and have analyzed them using Typke's reduction of Watson's Hamiltonian. Slightly revised ground-state constants for the 32 isotope were obtained from a simultaneous fit of the microwave transitions observed by Helminger, Cook, and De Lucia, combined with weighted averaged ground-state combination differences formed from the infrared bands (010), (020), (100), (001), (110), (011), (210), and (111). The standard deviation for the fit was 0.0018 cm^?1 for the infrared data and 0.000032 cm^?1 for the microwave lines. Upper-state constants for the 32 isotope were obtained from a least-squares fit of the spectral lines of ν₂, keeping the ground-state constants fixed to the values determined by the combination difference fit. The standard deviation of the (010) line fit was 0.0017 cm^?1 for the 32 isotope. Ground-state and upper-state isotopic mass adjustment constants were determined in a simultaneous fit of lines of H₂³³S and H₂³⁴S, keeping the ground-state and upper-state constants for the 32 isotope fixed.     

The reaction of H2S with surface oxygen on Ni(110)

The reactions of H₂S with predosed surface oxygen on Ni(110) surfaces were studied for a variety of coverage conditions. The primary reaction product is H₂O, but the details of the water formation and desorption depends on the coverage of both O and H₂S.

For high coverages of oxygen (p(2 × 1)−O; 0.5 ML), the reaction to form water is quantitative. The loss of oxygen from the surface (as measured by AES) is equal to the increase in sulfur coverage. XPS and HREELS measurements indicate the presence of chemisorbed H₂O immediately following large exposures of H₂S on the oxygen predosed surface at 110 K. Deuterium incorporation results suggest that the primary mechanism for these coverage conditions involves direct transfer of hydrogen from SH or H₂S moieties to the oxygen.

A second mechanism involving reaction of surface hydroxyl groups with surface hydrogen was also identified. This mechanism is particularly important for high coverages of oxygen (0.5 ML) and low coverages of H₂S (0.15 ML), where water desorption was observed at 235 K, but was not observed spectroscopically at 110 K. The sequential addition of two surface hydrogen atoms to surface oxygen is not an important mechanism in this system.

These reactions were modeled using a bond-order conservation method, and the model successfully reproduced the important mechanistic conclusions.     

Photoemission studies of H2S,H2 and S adsorbed on Ru(110): Evidence for an adsorbed SH species

H₂S, H₂ and S adsorbed on Ru(110) have been studied by angle-integrated ultraviolet photoemission (UPS) as part of a study of the effect of adsorbed sulfur, a common catalytic poison, on this Ru surface. For low exposures of H₂S at 80 K, the work function rises to a value 0.16 eV above that of clean Ru(110) while the associated UPS spectra (hν = 21.2 eV) exhibit features similar to those of H(ads) and S(ads) and different from those of molecular H₂S. We conclude that H₂S dissociates completely at low coverages on Ru(110) at 80 K. At intermediate exposures the work function drops and the UPS spectra show new features which are attributed to the presence of an adsorbed SH species. This appears to be the first direct observation of this surface complex. At higher exposures the work function saturates at a value 0.36 eV below the clean value; the UPS spectra change markedly and indicate the adsorption of molecular H₂S. Heating adsorbed H₂S leaves a stable layer of S(ads) on Ru(110). The surface with adsorbed sulfur strongly modifies the adsorption at 80 K of a number of molecules relative to the clean Ru(110) surface.

Penning ionization electron spectroscopy of H2O,D2O,H2S and SO2

Electron energy peak shifts and peak shapes were determined in the ionization of H₂O, D₂O, H₂S and SO₂ by Ne(³P₂) and He(2¹S, 2³S) metastable atoms. The shifts are large, especially in ionization of H₂O and D₂O into the ionic ground state and are probably mostly due to chemical interaction during the collision.In a previous paper the electron energy distribution curves for ionization of CO, HCl, HBr, N₂O, NO₂, CO₂, COS and CS₂ by helium, neon and argon metastables and the characteristics of this ionization were described¹. In this paper the series of triatomic molecules was extended to the molecules H₂O, D₂O, H₂S and SO₂. Because all these molecules have considerable dipole moments it could be expected that the peak shifts might be enhanced as compared with other triatomic molecules.     

Electric dipole moments and nuclear hyperfine interactions for H2S,HDS, and D2S

Electric dipole moments and nuclear hyperfine coupling constants for several low-energy rotational states of the ground vibrational state of H₂S, HDS, and D₂S have been determined by molecular beam electric resonance spectroscopy. Analysis of the Stark effects for radiofrequency spectra of the lowest rotational levels gives dipole moments of 0.978325 (10) D for H₂S (J = 1, τ = 0), 0.977294 (20) D for D₂S (J = 1, τ = 0), and 0.977484 (60) D for HDS (J = 1, τ = 1 and J = 2, τ = 0). The electric field gradient tensor at the deuterium nucleus, the nuclear spin-spin tensor, and the spin-rotation tensor were evaluated from the hyperfine components of the radiofrequency spectra. The accuracy of these tensors was moderately improved over earlier measurements. From the H₂S spin-rotation tensor, the average paramagnetic shielding for the protons was found to be σ_av^p = ?104.84 (40) ppm. Combining this result with the proton NMR absolute chemical shift allowed the average diamagnetic shielding to be calculated as σ_av^d = 135.7 (5) ppm.     

Vibrational study of phase transitions and conductivity mechanism in H3OUO2PO4.3 H2O (HUP)

Infrared and Raman spectra of polycrystalline H₃OUO₂PO₄.3 H₂O (HUP) have been envestigated at various temperatures between 50 K and 300 K. The most temperature sensitive bands corresponding to PO₄ and H₂O librations, U-OPO₃ stretching and OH stretching vibrations indicate four different phases of HUP and allow to propose a phase transition mechanism from a quasiliquid state of protonated species in R.T. phase to a fully ordered crystal below 100 K. Protonic conductivity mechanism of room and low temperature phases is discussed.     

Vibrational study of H3OUO2PO4·3 H2O (HUP) and related compounds. Phase transitions and conductivity mechanism: Part II,H3OUO2PO4·3 H2O

Infrared and Raman spectra of polycrystalline H₃OUO₂PO₄·3 H₂O (HUP) and its D and P¹⁸O₄ derivatives, in the form of dense transparent disks and wet powder, have been investigated at various temperatures in the 100–300 K region. The bands due to framework vibrations are similar to those of KUP, whereas those for the protonic species are different. OH stretching and bending bands of the oxonium ion have been identified at 2920, 1740 and 1160 cm^?1 in the low-temperature spectrum of HUP. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and infrared (IR) intensity investigations show a phase transition between 274 and 260 K. The mechanism of the phase transition consists, as in the case of KUP, of ordering of the protonic species, which induces ordering of PO₄ tetrahedra. The ordering can be influenced by excess water content, stacking faults and stress (ferroelastic behaviour is evidenced). The conductivity mechanism in HUP is discussed.     

Vibrational study of H3OUO2PO4 · 3 H2O (HUP) and related compounds. phase transitions and conductivity mechanisms: part I,KUO2PO4 · 3 H2O (KUP)

Infrared and Raman spectra of polycrystalline KUO₂PO₄ · 3 H₂O (KUP) and its isotopic derivatives KUO₂P¹⁸O₄ · 3 H₂O and KUO₂PO₄ · 3 D₂O have been investigated in the 4000-10-cm^?1 range at different temperatures. An assignment of the bands in terms of UO₂, PO₄ and H₂O vibrations has been proposed. Combined differential scanning calorimetry and spectroscopic data show two diffuse phase transitions near 130 and 230 K. Comparison of the vibrational spectra of phase I at 300 K and phase IV at 100 K indicates that ordering of the water molecules with subsequent ordering of PO₄ tetrahedra on a site with lower symmetry appears to be the main mechanism responsible for the phase transformation. All the six O-H distances of water molecules in phase IV are found to be crystallographically nonequivalent. Conducting ion frequencies and the corresponding force constants have been determined for the analogous compounds MUP with M = K⁺, Na⁺, Ag⁺, NH⁺₄, Tl⁺ and H₃O⁺ and compared with other properties of these ionic conductors. Conductivity mechanisms in these materials are discussed.     

Scattered-wave calculations of photoionization cross-sections and asymmetry parameters for CO,H2O and H2S

Partial photoionization cross-sections and asymmetry parameters are calculated for the valence orbitals of the molecules CO, H₂O, and H₂S and of the atoms O and S using a recently developed extension of the self-cosistent field— Xα—scattered-wave method to continuum states. The convergence of the partial-wave expansions for both initial and final states is studied for electron kinetic energies in the range 2–1000 eV. Since convergence is very slow at high kinetic energies, the interesting region between 2 and 50 eV is emphasized, and comparisons are made with experimental UV photoemission results where such data are available. Overall the method appears to be far more reliable than previous calculations for polyatomic molecules which have used plane-wave or orthogonalized plane-wave final states.     

An ESCA study of iron sulfidation in H2S
