Effects of potassium on the adsorption and dissociation of CH3Cl on Pd(100)

The effects of potassium on the adsorption and dissociation of CH₃Cl on a Pd(100) surface has been investigated by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), electron energy loss spectroscopy (in the electronic range EELS), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and work function change. In contrast to the clean surface, the adsorption of CH₃Cl caused a significant work function increase, 0.9-1.4 eV, of potassium-dosed Pd. Preadsorbed K enhanced the binding energy of CH₃C1 to the surface and induced the dissociation of adsorbed molecules. The extent of the dissociation increased almost linearly with the potassium content. The appearance of a new emission in the UPS spectrum at 9.2 eV, attributed to adsorbed CH₃ species, and the low-temperature formation of ethane suggest that a fraction of adsorbed CH₃Cl dissociates even at 115–125 K on potassium-dosed Pd(100). At the same time, a significant part of adsorbed CH₃ radical is stabilized, the reaction of which occurs only at 250–300 K. By means of TPD measurements, H₂, CH₄, C₂H₆, C₂H₄, KCl and K were detected in the desorbing gases. The results are interpreted by assuming a through-metal electronic interaction at low potassium coverage and by a direct interaction of the Cl in the adsorbed CH₃Cl with potassium at high potassium coverage. The latter proposal is supported by the electron excited Auger fine structure of the Cl signal and by the formation of KCl in the desorbing gases.     

A novel strong green phosphor： K3Gd（PO4）2：Ce^3＋, Tb^3＋ for a UV-excited white light-emitting-diode

A series of K3Gd1-x-y（PO4）2：xCe^3＋, yTb^3＋ phosphors are synthesized by the solid-sate reaction method. X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectra are utilized to characterize the structures and luminescence properties of the as-synthesized phosphors. Co-doping of Ce^3＋ enhances the emission intensity of Tb^3＋ greatly through an efficient energy transfer process from Ce^3＋ to Tb^3＋. The energy transfer is confirmed by photoluminescence spectra and decay time curves analysis. The efficiency and mechanism of energy transfer are investigated carefully. Moreover, due to the non- concentration quenching property of K3Tb（PO4）2, the photoluminescence spectra of K3Tb1-x（PO4）2：xCe^3＋ are studied and the results show that when x = 0.11 the strongest Tb^3＋ green emission can be realized.

Neutron spin-echo investigation of slow spin dynamics in kagomé-bilayer frustrated magnets as evidence for phonon assisted relaxation in SrCr9xGa12-9xO19

A neutron spin-echo investigation of the low temperature spin dynamics in two well-characterized kagomé bilayer compounds SrCr9xGa12-9xO19 (x=0.95, SCGO) and Ba2Sn2ZnCr7xGa10-7xO22 (x=0.97, BSZCGO) reveals two novel features. One is the slowing down of the relaxation rate without critical behavior at Tg, where a macroscopic spin-glass-like freezing occurs. The second is, in SCGO at 4 K (approximately Tg)相似文献   

Adsorption and two-body recombination of atomic hydrogen on 3He-4He mixture films

We present the first systematic measurement of the binding energy E(a) of hydrogen atoms to the surface of saturated 3He- 4He mixture films at temperatures 70-400 mK. E(a) is found to decrease almost linearly from 1.14(1) K down to 0.39(1) K, when the population of the ground surface state of 3He grows from zero to 6x10(14) cm(-2), yielding the value 1.2(1)x10(-15) K cm(2) for the mean-field parameter of H- 3He interaction in 2D. Measuring by ESR the rate constants K(aa) and K(ab) for second-order recombination of hydrogen atoms in hyperfine states a and b, we find the ratio K(ab)/K(aa) to be independent of the 3He content and to grow with temperature.     

Second bound state of PsH

The existence of a second bound state of PsH that is electronically stable and also stable against positron annihilation by the normal 2gamma and 3gamma processes is demonstrated by explicit calculation. The state can be found in the ;{2,4}S;{o} symmetries with the two electrons in a spin-triplet state. The binding energy against dissociation into the H(2p)+Ps(2p) channel was 7.03 x 10;(-4) hartree. The dominant decay mode of the states will be radiative decay into a configuration that autoionizes or undergoes positron annihilation. The NaPs system of the same symmetry is also electronically stable with a binding energy of 1.514 x 10;(-3) hartree with respect to the Na(3p)+Ps(2p) channel.     

A TDS and HREELS study of CO adsorbed on a potassium promoted Fe(111) surface

The adsorption behavior of CO on a potassium promoted Fe(111) surface was investigated in the range from zero to several monolayers of preadsorbed potassium. TD spectra show that the presence of potassium decreases the amount of CO which is desorbed in the α (molecular) desorption state and increases the desorption temperature of this state. In addition, it gives rise to second, β (recombination) desorption state which is correlated to K desorption. The total CO uptake is comparable to that for the clean surface for precoverages of up to one monolayer, beyond this, however, it increases and at three potassium monolayers it is about twice the clean surface value. At K precoverages above 0.5 monolayer the initial sticking coefficient for CO is greatly reduced so that CO exposures of up to several thousand Langmuirs are required in order to saturate the surface. The three stretch frequencies which are observed in HREELS for CO adsorbed on clean Fe(111) are all affected by the presence of potassium. At potassium precoverages between zero and 0.5 monolayers these frequencies shift both in energy and relative intensity; however, between 0.5 and 1 preadsorbed potassium monolayers the spectra are greatly modified and now show only two losses in the CO stretch region. The lower-frequency one of these gives evidence for a close interaction of CO with the coadsorbed potassium.     

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of electron-doped cuprate superconductors: isotropic electron-phonon coupling

We have performed high resolution angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) studies on electron-doped cuprate superconductors Sm2-xCexCuO4 (x=0.10, 0.15, 0.18), Nd2-xCexCuO4 (x=0.15), and Eu2-xCexCuO4 (x=0.15). Imaginary parts of the electron removal self energy show steplike features due to an electron-bosonic mode coupling. The steplike feature is seen along both nodal and antinodal directions but at energies of 50 and 70 meV, respectively, independent of the doping and rare earth element. Such energy scales can be understood as being due to preferential coupling to half- and full-breathing mode phonons, revealing the phononic origin of the kink structures. Estimated electron-phonon coupling constant lambda from the self energy is roughly independent of the doping and momentum. The isotropic nature of lambda is discussed in comparison with the hole-doped case where a strong anisotropy exists.     

Multigap superconductivity and strong electron-boson coupling in Fe-based superconductors: a point-contact Andreev-reflection study of Ba(Fe(1-x)Co(x))2As2 single crystals

Directional point-contact Andreev-reflection measurements in Ba(Fe(1-x)Co(x))2As2 single crystals (T(c) = 24.5 K) indicate the presence of two superconducting gaps with no line nodes on the Fermi surface. The point-contact Andreev-reflection spectra also feature additional structures related to the electron-boson interaction, from which the characteristic boson energy Ω(b)(T) is obtained, very similar to the spin-resonance energy observed in neutron scattering experiments. Both the gaps and the additional structures can be reproduced within a three-band s ± Eliashberg model by using an electron-boson spectral function peaked at Ω(0) = 12 meV ? Ω(b)(0).     

Potassium doping effect on the lattice softening and electronic structure of Ba(1-x)K(x)Fe(2)As(2) probed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Ba(1-x)K(x)Fe(2)As(2) superconducting samples (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5) were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. In this contribution the doping effect of potassium on the lattice dynamics in this newly discovered Ba(1-x)K(x)Fe(2)As(2) superconductor has been investigated by extended X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy. The analysis shows that with potassium doping an increased disorder in the iron layers is mainly related to the softening of the Fe-Fe bond. Information about the electronic structure of these materials has also been obtained by looking at the X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra that point out the presence of holes in the Fe-3d/As-4p hybridized orbital of the BaFe(2)As(2)-based system.     

The chemisorption of nitrogen on the (001) surface of ruthenium

High resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), thermal desorption mass spectrometry (TDMS) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) have been used to investigate the molecular chemisorption of N₂ on Ru(001) at 75 K and 95 K. Adsorption at 95 K produces a single chemisorbed state, and, at saturation, a (√3x√3) R30° LEED pattern is observed. Adsorption at 75 K produces an additional chemisorbed state of lower binding energy, and the probability of adsorption increases by a factor of two from its zero coverage value when the second chemisorbed state begins to populate. EEL spectra recorded for all coverages at 75 K show only two dipolar modes — ν(RuN₂) at 280–300 cm^?1 and ν(NN) at 2200–2250 cm^?1 — indicating adsorption at on-top sites with the axis of the molecular standing perpendicular to the surface. The intensities of these loss features increase and ν(NN) decreases with increasing surface coverage of both chemisorbed states.

Effects of potassium on the reaction pathway of C3H7 species over Mo2C/Mo (1 0 0)

The adsorption and surface reactions of propyl iodide on clean and potassium-modified Mo₂C/Mo(1 0 0) surfaces have been investigated by thermal desorption spectroscopy (TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) in the 100-1200 K temperature range. This work is strongly related to the better understanding of the catalytic effect of Mo₂C in the conversion of hydrocarbons. Potassium was found to be an effective promoter: it induced the rupture of C-I bond in the adsorbed C₃H₇I even at 100 K. The extent of C-I bond scission varied approximately linearly with the concentration of K coverage at the adsorption temperature of 100 K. As revealed by HREELS and TPD measurements the primary products of the dissociation are C₃H₇ and I. The former one was stabilized by potassium and underwent dehydrogenation and hydrogenation to give propene and propane. The desorption of both compounds is reaction-limited process. A fraction of propyl groups was converted into di-σ-bonded propene, which was stable up to ∼380 K. The coupling reaction of propyl species was also facilitated by potassium and resulted in the formation of hexane and hexene with T_p ∼ 230-250 K. Hydrogen was released with T_p = 390 K, indicative of a desorption limited process. The effect of potassium was explained by the extended electron donation to adsorbed propyl iodide in one hand, and by the direct interaction between potassium and I on the other hand. This was reflected by the shift of the desorption of potassium from the coadsorbed layer at and above 1.0 ML to higher temperature, and by the coincidal T_p values (∼700 K) of potassium and iodine. The formation of KI was also supported by the appearance of a loss feature at 650 cm⁻¹ in the HREEL spectra attributed to a phonon mode of KI.     

Structure and dynamics of dense monolayers of no adsorbed on Rh(111) in equilibrium with the gas phase in the Torr pressure range

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we show the phase transition between new structures of NO on Rh(111) in equilibrium with the gas phase near 300 K, in the Torr pressure range. Two phases with (2 x 2) and (3 x 3) periodicity transform into each other as the pressure and temperature change around the equilibrium P-T line. By measuring P and T at coexistence, we determined the heat of adsorption in the (3 x 3) structure. From the phase boundary dynamics, the activation energy barrier between phases were estimated. The results demonstrate that unique information can be obtained from high-pressure and high-temperature studies.

Elektronen-Kern-Doppelresonanz-Untersuchung vonU 2-Zentren in Kaliumchlorid

U ₂-centers in alkali halides are neutral hydrogen atoms in interstitial lattice sites, as has been shown by EPR measurements. The hyperfine interactions with the proton and with the four nearest halogen nuclei are resolved in the EPR spectrum. In order to resolve hyperfine interactions with further nuclei of the surrounding lattice ENDOR measurements have been performed onU ₂-centers in KCl at 77 °K. The analysis of the ENDOR spectra gave precise values for the hyperfine and quadrupole interaction constants of the nearest neighbour chlorine and potassium nuclei. The isotropic hyperfine constant of the chlorine neighbours is 24 times larger than that of the potassium neighbours although both nuclei are on equivalent first shell lattice positions. The hyperfine interactions of second shell potassium nuclei [(1/2, 1/2, 3/2)-position] show an unexpectedly large isotropic hyperfine constant. One expects a pure magnetic dipole-dipole interaction for the outer shell nuclei because of the concentrated hydrogen wave function. Two further chlorine shells could be approximately analysed. A theoretical estimate of the hyperfine and quadrupole interaction constants was made by orthogonalizing the 1s hydrogen wave function to the cores of the surrounding ions. If one takes into account the mutual overlap of neighbouring potassium and chlorine ions, one gets the right order of magnitude of the measured constants and a value of 10.4∶1 for the ratio of the isotropic hyperfine constants of the first shell chlorine and potassium nuclei. The relatively large isotropic constant of the second shell potassium nuclei can also be explained on this basis.     

Optical properties of the ternary compound Tl Sb S2

We present an investigation of the near band-gap optical properties of TlSbS₂ between 2 and 300 K. We use both transmission and reflectivity measurements. The resolution of the first exciton line permits to obtain an accurate determination of the temperature coefficients of both the direct band-gap E₀ and the second threshold E₁. The absorption curves have been fitted according to the Toyozawa's model. We find a strong interaction with a phonon mode of energy 22 meV for both the E₀ and E₁ thresholds. The low temperature reflectivity spectra reveal clearly several direct transitions in the range 1.5–5.5 eV. All these structures have been identified as transitions between the highest valence band and the lowest conduction band.     

Novel orientational ordering and reentrant metallicity in K(x)C(60) monolayers for 3 < or = x < or = 5

STM studies on K(x)C(60) monolayers reveal new behavior over a wide range of the phase diagram. As x increases from 3 to 5 K(x)C(60) monolayers undergo metal-insulator-metal reentrant phase transitions and exhibit a variety of novel orientational orderings, including a complex 7-molecule, pinwheel-like structure. The proposed driving mechanism for the orientational ordering is the lowering of electron kinetic energy by maximizing the overlap of neighboring molecular orbitals. In insulating (metallic) K(x)C(60) this gives rise to orbital versions of the superexchange (double-exchange) interaction.     

Adsorption of hydrogen and deuterium on potassium-promoted Pd(100) surfaces

The adsorption of H₂ and D₂ has been studied on clean and K-promoted Pd(100) surfaces using thermal desorption, work function changes, ultraviolet photoelectron and Auger spectroscopy. The potassium adlayer significantly lowers the sticking coefficient (from 0.6 to 0.06 at θ_k = 0.2), and the uptake of hydrogen, but increases the desorption energy for H₂ desorption. Calculation showed that each potassium adatom blocks approximately 4–5 adsorption sites for H₂ adsorption. Atomization of hydrogen led to an increase of hydrogen uptake. The adsorption of potassium on the H-covered surface caused a significant decrease in the amount of hydrogen adsorbed on the surface (as indicated by less desorbing hydrogen below 500 K) and promoted the dissolution of H atoms into the bulk of Pd. The dissolved hydrogen was released only above 600–650 K. In the interpetation of the results the extended charge transfer from K-dosed Pd to the adsorbed H atoms and the direct interaction between adsorbed H and K adatoms are taken into account.
