Direct measurements of the kinetic energy of Ne atoms adsorbed on activated carbon (AC) at submonolayer coverage, is reported. The electronvolt spectrometer of the ISIS neutron source that utilizes the neutron Compton scattering technique, was employed. The specific adsorption area of the AC was ∼3000 m2/g. The momentum distribution of adsorbed Neon was measured at 12 K. The kinetic energy of Ne was found to be 66.3±6.2 K, and is much higher than that of solid neon, at the same temperature, being 45.8±4.8 K. This result is considered to be an evidence for the occurrence of a confinement effect of Ne atoms within the pores of the AC. The result was also used for deducing the average pore size of the AC adsorber assumed to have slit shaped pores. 相似文献

Detailed interaction potential energy calculations are performed to determine the potential energy surface experienced by the molecules CO, HCN, H2O and H2CO, when adsorbed on the basal plane (0 0 0 1) of graphite at low temperatures. The potential energy surface is used to find the equilibrium site and configuration of a molecule on the surface and its corresponding adsorption energy. The diffusion constant associated with molecular surface diffusion is calculated for each molecule. 相似文献

The rates of electron scattering via phonons in the armchair single-wall carbon nanotubes were calculated by using the improved scattering theory within the tight-binding approximation. Therefore, the problem connected with the discrepancy of the scattering rates calculated in the framework of the classical scattering theory and ones predicted by experimental data was clarified. Then these results were used for the solving of the kinetic Boltzmann equation to describe electron transport properties of the nanotubes. The equation was solved numerically by using both the finite difference approach and the Monte Carlo simulation procedure. 相似文献

Resonance Raman and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopies are used to study the optical properties of different types of carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotube, nanoribbons, nanographites and graphite edges. In the resonance Raman experiments of carbon nanotubes, the (n,m) assignment is obtained by comparing the experimental and theoretical diameter and chirality dependence of the optical transitions. The influence of the environment on the optical transitions of the nanotubes is also obtained in the Raman experiments. The PLE measurements in different samples of carbon nanotubes show both direct and phonon-assisted optical transitions, and the results give new evidences that the optical transitions in nanotubes have an excitonic character, which is very strong for the low energy transitions. We also analyze the Raman spectra of nanoribbons and nanographites, showing that this technique is an important tool for defect characterization in graphitic materials, and can be used to distinguish the atomic structure of the graphite edges. 相似文献

Multiwall carbon nanotubes are found to generate photocurrent in the visible and near ultra violet spectral range using a photoelectrochemical technique. Peaks in the photocurrent are observed at excitation energies in the visible region. Their electron energy loss spectra exhibit the π plasmon feature, typical of graphite layers, and a peak at lower energy. Features at energies between 0 and 4 eV have been already observed for single wall carbon nanotubes and ascribed to interband electronic transitions due to the reduced dimensionality of these systems. The present measurements suggest that the usual identification of multiwall carbon nanotubes electronic density of states with that of graphite layers is not sufficient and more theoretical investigations are necessary to shed light on this point. 相似文献

通过超声波降解法制备了多壁碳纳米管的水-表面活性剂悬浮液,测量了其对于1 064 nm,脉宽10 ns Nd:YAG调Q脉冲激光的光限幅曲线。实验发现:入射激光能量密度较低时,出射能量密度随入射能量密度的增加而线性增加;当入射能量密度为160 mJ/cm2时,出射能量不再线性增加并且逐渐趋近于光限幅器的嵌位输出值,约16 mJ,同时,对激光的透过率从71%下降到15%。通过Z扫描和探针光实验以及45°散射角下散射能量、散射率随入射激光能量变化曲线的测量,对碳纳米管悬浮液的光限幅机理进行了研究。结果表明:其限幅机理可能源于碳纳米管吸收激光能量后升华产生的膨胀的碳气泡对入射激光产生的非线性散射;另外,非线性折射对光限幅效果也有一定的作用。 相似文献

For narrow-gap carbon nanotubes, the curvature effect due to the misorientation of 2pz orbitals dominates over electronic structures and thus magnetic properties. It significantly changes magnetization and magnetic susceptibility, and creates special structures in them. There exists a critical field direction in changing magnetism. The critical angle strongly depends on the chiral angle, the nanotube radius, and the temperature. One-dimensional carbon nanotubes are quite different from zero-dimensional carbon tori, such as in terms of special structures in magnetization, the strength of the magnetic response, and the critical angle. 相似文献

Hydrophilic surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are of great interest for various applications including chemical and biological sensing. Surface functionalization of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) mats with a biocompatible polymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was studied. PVA modification induced a drastic change in water wettability of the SWNT surface transforming it from hydrophobic to highly hydrophilic. These PVA modified SWNTs mats have also demonstrated increasing impedance variation in relative humidity compared to the pristine nanotubes. An appreciable change in conductivity of Y-junction SWNT mats as a function of relative humidity indicates its potential application as humidity sensor. This higher sensitivity for humidity variation shown in Y-junction SWNT mats could be attributed to the greater portion of semiconducting nanotubes in these mats revealed by Raman analysis. A possible conductance changing mechanism of surface modified SWNTs mats is discussed. 相似文献

Study of diffusivity of acetylene adsorbed in Na-Y zeolite by quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) measurements at temperatures
of 300, 325 and 350 K is reported. A model in which the acetylene molecules undergo random-walk diffusion characterized by
a Gaussian distribution of jump lengths inside zeolite cages describes the data consistently. The diffusion constant, residence
time between jumps and root mean square jump length are determined. 相似文献

Results of the quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) measurements on the dynamics of excess water in hydrotalcite sample
with varied content of excess water are reported. Translational motion of excess water can be best described by random translational
jump diffusion model. The observed increase in translational diffusivity with increase in the amount of excess water is attributed
to the change in binding of the water molecules to the host layer. 相似文献

We present in this paper a comparative study on the dynamics of benzene, cyclohexane, and methanol molecules, confined in
the pores of MCM-41 molecular sieve and HZSM-5 zeolite. The quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) measurements revealed
that the physical state of these adsorbed molecules depended not only on the structural characteristics of the host matrix
but also on the chemical properties, such as dipole moment, of the guest molecules. Thus, while no motion was observed in
the time-scale of 10−10−10−12 s in the case of methanol, the larger size benzene and cyclohexane molecules are found to perform six-fold and three-fold
jump rotation, respectively, when adsorbed inside the cages of HZSM-5 at room temperature. At the same time, all the three
molecules are found to undergo a translational motion inside the pores of MCM-41 molecular sieves, the value of diffusion
constant being the lowest in case of methanol because of its higher polarity. Translationl motion of the guest molecules inside
the pores of MCM-41 can be satisfactorily described by Chudley-Eliott fixed jump length diffusion and accordingly the residence
time, jump length and diffusion constant are estimated. 相似文献

Here we report the quasielastic neutron scattering and FTIR studies on the dynamics of propylene adsorbed in Na-Y and Na-ZSM5
zeolites. QENS data show that although the mechanism of translational motion of propylene is jump diffusion in both the cases
of Na-Y and Na-ZSM5 zeolites, the diffusivity is affected by the host size and is hindered in the case of Na-ZSM5. FTIR studies
showed that guest-host interaction in Na-ZSM5 is stronger than that in Na-Y zeolite corroborating the QENS results.

The influence of a static scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip on the diffusion of xenon atoms adsorbed on a Cu(1 1 0) stepped surface is studied. Semi-empirical potentials for the Xe-surface interaction and a N-body energy based method for the Xe-tip contribution are used to calculate the adsorption energy of adsorbates in the STM junction. First, we analyse the variation of this energy when the adatom is placed near a step edge and for different tip positions. When the tip is situated in the neighbourhood of the step edge, the Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier experienced by the adatom is lowered. This opens a specific diffusion channel, allowing a possible crossing of the step edge. Second, through a kinetic Monte Carlo approach coupled to the elastic scattering quantum chemistry method, the noisy tunneling current created by the random motion of diffusing atoms in the vicinity of the tip can be analyzed. We show that, by counting the number of diffusion events, we can determine effective barriers related to the most dominant processes contributing to the diffusion at a particular temperature. We also demonstrate that the interaction mode of the tip (attractive or imaging) greatly modifies the diffusion processes. 相似文献

The influence of the hydrogen content in several physical aspects of carbonaceous microfibres obtained from a mixture of hydrogen and hydrocarbon gas is examinated in this study. The hydrogen content is evaluated behalf a measurement of the fibres density. These changes of content depend on the manufacturing process and further treatments of the fibres. The surface energy is established after contact angle evaluation. There is not a clear relation between the surface energy and the porosity, which is a very relevant parameter in order to establish the hydrogen storage capacity of all materials.The fibres have been evaluated using Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), which provides a map of the surface potential. These measurements suggest a relation between the surface potential and the hydrogen adsorbed in the surface of the fibres. 相似文献

Highly disordered multiwalled carbon nanotubes of large outer diameter (∼60 nm) fabricated by means of chemical vapor deposition process inside porous alumina templates exhibit ferromagnetism when annealed in a H2/Ar atmosphere. In the presence of an applied magnetic field, there is a transition from positive to negative magnetoresistance. The transition may be explained in terms of the Bright model for ordered and disordered carbon structures. Additionally, temperature dependent electrical transport experiments exhibit a zero-bias anomaly at low temperature. 相似文献

Stimulation of the local growth of aligned carbon nanotubes by pulse laser exposure of the substrate
The local stimulation of carbon nanotubes (CNT) growth at the laser-modified sites that have been obtained by excimer laser irradiation at 248 nm causing a local surface modification has been investigated by two different processing methods. The influence of the laser processing parameters on the CNT growth is compared for the irradiation of thin spin-coated iron nitrate films on silicon substrates and the backside irradiation of a fused silica substrate being in contact with an iron nitrate solution. Both techniques cause the formation of catalytic surface sites either by decomposition of the film or by deposition from the solution. For both laser modification approaches the local growth of vertical aligned nanotubes has been observed. In the case of spin-coated film the laser irradiation conditions have only a small influence on the CNT growth whereas at backside modification by means of a solution a strong dependence on the laser processing parameters has been found. 相似文献

The applicability of BET model for calculation of surface area of activated carbons is checked by using molecular simulations. By calculation of geometric surface areas for the simple model carbon slit-like pore with the increasing width, and by comparison of the obtained values with those for the same systems from the VEGA ZZ package (adsorbate-accessible molecular surface), it is shown that the latter methods provide correct values. For the system where a monolayer inside a pore is created the ASA approach (GCMC, Ar, T = 87 K) underestimates the value of surface area for micropores (especially, where only one layer is observed and/or two layers of adsorbed Ar are formed). Therefore, we propose the modification of this method based on searching the relationship between the pore diameter and the number of layers in a pore. Finally BET; original and modified ASA; and A, B and C-point surface areas are calculated for a series of virtual porous carbons using simulated Ar adsorption isotherms (GCMC and T = 87 K). The comparison of results shows that the BET method underestimates and not, as it was usually postulated, overestimates the surface areas of microporous carbons. 相似文献
