Hydrogen dynamics in Ce2Fe17H5: inelastic and quasielastic neutron scattering studies

The vibrational spectrum of hydrogen and the parameters of H jump motion in the rhombohedral Th(2)Zn(17)-type compound Ce(2)Fe(17)H(5) have been studied by means of inelastic and quasielastic neutron scattering. It is found that hydrogen atoms occupying interstitial Ce(2)Fe(2) sites participate in the fast localized jump motion over the hexagons formed by these tetrahedral sites. The H jump rate τ(-1) of this localized motion is found to change from 3.9 × 10(9) s(-1) at T = 140 K to 4.9 × 10(11) s(-1) at T = 350 K, and the temperature dependence of τ(-1) in the range 140-350 K is well described by the Arrhenius law with the activation energy of 103±3 meV. Our results suggest that the hydrogen jump rate in Th(2)Zn(17)-type compounds strongly increases with decreasing nearest-neighbor distance between the tetrahedral sites within the hexagons. Since each such hexagon in Ce(2)Fe(17)H(5) is populated by two hydrogen atoms, the jump motions of H atoms on the same hexagon should be correlated.     

Hydrogen adsorption and diffusion on Pd(1 1 1)

The adsorption, diffusion and ordering of hydrogen on Pd(1 1 1) was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy in the temperature range of 37-90 K. At low coverage isolated hydrogen atoms were observed. They formed √3×√3-1H islands as the coverage increased. Above 1/3 monolayer (ML) coverage areas of a new phase with √3×√3-2H structure were formed, with both structures coexisting between 1/3 and 2/3 ML. Finally a 1 × 1 structure was formed after high exposures of hydrogen above 50 K, with a coverage close to 1 ML. Atomically resolved images reveal that H binds to fcc hollow sites.

Interaction of hydrogen and deuterium with intrinsic atomic defects in high-purity electron-irradiated nickel

Abstract

High-purity nickel was irradiated with 2 MeV electrons at temperatures below 80 K to a dose of 1 × 10²³ e^?/m² in the as-prepared state and after charging with H or D. By means of magnetic after-effect measurements relaxations of anisotropic radiation-induced defects and of defect-hydrogen complexes were investigated in the temperature range between 4.2 and 500 K. The isochronal annealing behaviour of these relaxations and the isochronal recovery of the residual resistivity was measured simultaneously on the same specimens. At temperatures below the hydrogen mobility (< 160 K) in charged irradiated specimens relaxation maxima are observed at 45, 100, 115 and 140 K which show no isotope shift for H and D charging. The maxima below 160 K are explained by defect-hydrogen complexes, where radiation-induced defects reorient around immobile hydrogen atoms. Above 160 K, where hydrogen atoms get mobile, in charged irradiated specimens a broad relaxation maximum appears at 170 K which shows an inverse isotope shift for H and D charging. This 170 K maximum anneals in Stage III. A hydrogen diffusion maximum observed in charged specimens at 215 K prior to irradiation is missing after electron irradiation. The 170 K relaxation is explained by defect-hydrogen complexes, where hydrogen atoms reorient around immobile radiation-induced defects while the long-range hydrogen diffusion is suppressed by these defects. In such relaxation measurements hydrogen and deuterium atoms are used as a “probe” to investigate radiation-induced defects.     

Direct observation of the quantum tunneling of single hydrogen atoms with a scanning tunneling microscope

Single hydrogen atoms were imaged on the Cu(001) surface by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The vibrations of individual H and D atoms against the surface were excited and detected by inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (STM-IETS). Variable temperature measurements of H atom diffusion showed a transition from thermally activated diffusion to quantum tunneling at 60 K. Regimes of phonon-assisted and electron-limited quantum tunneling were observed. The thermal diffusion rate of D atoms varied over 7 orders of magnitude between 80 and 50 K with no transition to quantum tunneling down to a thermal hopping rate of 4x10(-7) s(-1).     

A statistical thermodynamic approach to sonochemical reactions

The calculation of the equilibrium constants K of the sonolysis reactions of CO2 into CO and O atom, the recombination of O atoms into O2 and the formation of H2O starting with H and O atoms, has been studied by means of statistical thermodynamic. The constants have been calculated at 300 kHz versus the pressure and the temperature according to the extreme conditions expected in a cavitation bubble, e.g. in the range from ambient temperature to 15200 K and from ambient pressure to 300 bar. The decomposition of CO2 appears to be thermodynamically favored at 15200 K and 1 bar with a constant K1=1.52 x 10(6), whereas the formation of O2 is not expected to occur (K2=1.8 x10(-8) maximum value at 15200 K and 300 bar) in comparison to the formation of water (K3=3.4 x 10(47) at 298 K and 300 bar). The most thermodynamic favorable location of each reactions is then proposed, the surrounding shell region for the thermic decomposition of CO2 and the wall of the cavitation bubble for the formation of water. Starting from a work of Henglein on the sonolysis of CO2 in water at 300 kHz, the experimental amount of CO formed (7.2 x 10(20)molecules L(-1)) is compared to the theoretical CO amount (1.4 x 10(27)molecules L(-1)) which can be produced by the sonolysis of the same starting amount CO2. With the help of the literature data, the number of cavitation bubble has been evaluated to 6.2 x 10(15) bubbles L(-1) at 300 kHz, in 15 min. This means that about 1 bubble on 1900000 is efficient for undergoing the sonolysis of CO2.     

Formation of the atom-vacated state of a zinc sulfide surface upon adsorption of hydrogen atoms

Experimental results are cited according to which the adsorption of hydrogen atoms into ZnS produces an atom-vacated state of the surface of a solid body. The consequences of an AVS are: anomalously rapid vaporization of ZnS (T> 500°K), sputtering of ZnS on recombination of the H atoms (T=300–500°K), a high rate of diffusion of impurities and adsorbed H atoms, and the initiation of self-oscillations of a number of absorbed H atoms.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 5–10, July, 1986.The author wishes to thank M.

Formation of noble metal particles by ultrasonic irradiation

It was found that sonochemically prepared metal particles such as Ag, Pd, Au, Pt and Rh are of nanometer size with a fairly narrow distribution (e.g., about 5 nm for Pd particles obtained from a 1.0 mM Pd(II) in polyethylene glycol monostearate solution). We have suggested three different reduction pathways under sonication: (i) reduction by H atoms, (ii) reduction by secondary reducing radicals formed by hydrogen abstraction from organic additives with OH radicals and H atoms, (iii) reduction by radicals formed from pyrolysis of the additives at the interfacial region between cavitation bubbles and the bulk solution. The reduction of Ag(I) and Pt(II) mainly proceeds through reaction pathway (ii). In the cases of Pd(II) and Au(III), the reductions mainly proceed through reaction pathway (iii). The reduction of Rh(III) was not achieved under the same conditions; however, by the addition of sodium formate, reduction occurred and the preparation of Rh particles succeeded.     

Quasiclassical studies of Eley-Rideal and hot-atom reactions on a surface at 94 K: H(D) → D(H) + Cu(1 1 1)

Reactions and reaction dynamics of gas-phase H(or D) atoms with D(or H) atoms adsorbed onto a Cu(1 1 1) surface have been investigated by the quasi-classical molecular dynamics method. To simulate the H(D) → D(H) + Cu(1 1 1) system at a 94 K surface temperature, D(or H) adsorbates were disseminated arbitrarily on the surface of Cu(1 1 1) to form 0.50, 0.28 and 0.18 ML of coverages. The interaction of hydrogen atoms and the surface system is worked out by an LEPS function. LEPS parameters have been determined by using the total energy values which were calculated by a density functional theory (DFT) method and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation energy for various configurations of one and two hydrogen atoms on the Cu(1 1 1) surface. The Cu(1 1 1) surface, imitated by an embedded-atom method which is a many-body potential parameterized by Voter-Chen, is formed as a multilayer slab. The slab atoms are permitted to move. Various processes, trapping onto the surface, inelastic reflection of the incident projectile and penetration of the adsorbate or projectile atom into the slab, are examined. The dependence of these mechanisms on isotopic replacement has also been analyzed. Considerable contributions of the hot-atom pathways for the product formations are consequently observed. The rate of subsurface penetrations is obtained to be larger than the sticking rate onto the surface.     

Adsorption of nitrogen oxide molecules to the surface of nanosized nickel clusters formed on the (111) surface of a magnesium oxide film

The properties of the systems formed on deposition of Ni atoms on the (111) surface of a MgO film of thickness equal to six monomolecular layers grown on a Mo(110) crystal face and the adsorption of NO nitrogen oxide molecules to the system surface have been studied by methods of electron spectroscopy (AES, XPES, LEED, LEIBSS) and reflective infrared absorption spectroscopy. On deposition of Ni atoms on the surface of MgO at a substrate temperature of 600 K, three-dimensional islands of Ni are formed. The subsequent adsorption of NO results in molecule dissociation even at 110 K. The efficiency of this process depends on the morphology of the Ni layer.     

Measurements of positronium formation cross sections for positron-ar and-K scattering

We have made preliminary measurements of positronium (Ps) formation cross sections for 9 to 452 eV positrons scattered from Ar atoms and for 1 to 20 eV positrons scattered from K atoms. Our experimental approach involves setting lower and upper limits on Ps formation cross sections using a combination of (1) the detection of the coincidences of 511 keV annihilation gamma rays produced by the decay of para-Ps and by the interaction of ortho-Ps with the wall of the scattering cell in which the Ps is formed, and (2) the determination of scattering cross sections associated with the measured transmission of the positron beam through the gas in our scattering cell with the angular discrimination of our apparatus deliberately made as poor as possible. The constraints placed by these lower and upper limits are used to check for consistency with prior experimental and theoretical results for Ar and to provide the first measurements of Ps formation cross sections for K, which are compared with available theoretical results.     

K(6S)+H2→K(4D)+H2的碰撞能量转移

激光双光子激发K原子至6s或4D态,测鼍了K(6S,4D)与H2的碰撞转移截面.池温在413K,H2气压在4～40 Pa范围内,K(6S,4D)-K的碰撞效应可略去.在激发6S态的情况下,记录6S→4P时间分辨荧光信号,从荧光强度的对数描绘出的直线斜率得到6S态的有效寿命,而4D态的布居随H2的增加而增加,因此引起4D→4P跃迁谱线的增强.在激发4D态的情况下,采用类似方法得到4D态的有效寿命,由Stern Volmet方程,测得6S和4D态的辐射寿命分别为(97±15)ns和(300±45)ns.激发态K原子总的碰撞去佰居截面为(1.6±0.3)×10-14cm2(对6S态)和(40±6)×10-16cm2(对4D态).该总截面中包含向K原子激发态的非反应碰撞转移截面以及与H2反应生成KH的反应截面.激发6S态,测量4D→4P的时间积分荧光强度随H2气压的变化,得到6S→4D的碰撞转移截面为(1.4±0.3)×10-14cm2.由此得到结论:K(6S)态主要是通过物理猝灭到K(4D)态,虽然在K(6S)+H2的碰撞中,观察到了由于化学反应生成的KH的存在.

After a brief discussion of the main result of the research initiated by N.I. Ionov in his laboratory using electron-stimulated desorption for studying the surface layers of tungsten, we consider in greater detail recent results on layered coatings formed on the tungsten surface upon simultaneous adsorption of sodium (or cesium) and gold atoms on this surface, as well as the effect of sputtering of samarium atoms on the (Cs + Au)/W(100) surface that has already been formed at 300 K.     

Molecular-dynamics simulations of cold antihydrogen formation in strongly magnetized plasmas

Employing a high-order symplectic integrator and an adaptive time-step algorithm, we perform molecular-dynamics simulations of antihydrogen formation, in a cold plasma confined by a strong magnetic field, over time scales of microseconds. Sufficient positron-antiproton recombination events occur to allow a statistical analysis for various properties of the formed antihydrogen atoms. Giant-dipole states are formed in the initial stage of recombination. In addition to neutral atoms, we also observe antihydrogen positive ions (H(+)), in which two positrons simultaneously bind to an antiproton.
