How are fiindamental aspects of surface reactions studied The surface science approach uses a simplified system to model the more complicated real-world systems. At the heart of this simplified system is the use of well defined surfaces, typically in the fonn of oriented single crystals. A thorough description of these surfaces should include composition, electronic structure and geometric structure measurements, as well as an evaluation of reactivity towards different adsorbates. Furthemiore, the system should be constructed such that it can be made increasingly more complex to more closely mimic macroscopic systems. However, relating surface science results to the corresponding real-world problems often proves to be a stumbling block because of the sheer complexity of these real-world systems. 

A catalyst is a material that accelerates a reaction rate towards thennodynamic equilibrium conversion without itself being consumed in the reaction. Reactions occur on catalysts at particular sites, called active sites , which may have different electronic and geometric structures than neighbouring sites. Catalytic reactions are at the heart of many chemical industries, and account for a large fraction of worldwide chemical production. Research into fiindamental aspects of catalytic reactions has a strong economic motivating factor a better understanding of the catalytic process...

The generation of loops is necessary because disconnected regions are often separated by a section where a few amino acids have been inserted or omitted. These are often extra loops that can be determined by several methods. One method is to perform a database search to find a similar loop and then use its geometric structure. Often, other conformation search methods are used. Manual structure building may be necessary in order to find a conformation that connects the segments. Visual inspection of the result is recommended in any case. 

Although values of emittance and absorptance depend in very complex ways on the real and imaginaiy components of the refractive index and on the geometrical structure of the surface layer, the gener-ahzations that follow are possible. 

One must be sure of the purity of the model compound. It may have deteriorated (for example, by reaction or water absorption), its surface may not have the same composition as the bulk, or it may not be of the correct crystallographic phase. It is tempting to use single crystals to be sure of the geometric structure, but noncubic crystals give angle-dependent spectra. The crystallography of any compound should be checked with XRD. 

MEIS has proven to be a powerful and intuitive tool for the study of the composition and geometrical structure of surfaces and interfaces several layers below a surface. The fact that the technique is truly quantitative is all but unique in surface science. The use of very high resolution depth profiling, made possible by the high-resolution energy detectors in MEIS, will find increased applicability in many areas of materials science. With continued technical development, resulting in less costly instrumentation, the technique should become of even wider importance in the years to come. 

The precise description of geometrical structures of CNTs has been reported by lijima [1], who was the first discoverer of carbon microtubules. Electron diffraction (ED) results are presented in Chap. 3. In this chapter, the authors will focus on the electronic structures of CNTs from the viewpoint of EELS by using TEM equipped with an energy-filter in the column or under the column. 

So far, we ve considered calculations which investigate a molecular system having a specified geometric structure. As we ve seen, structural changes within a molecule usually produce differences in its energy and other properties. 

The perfection of the geometrical structure. This is confirmed by a great number of x-ray reflexes, including, and in particular, the occurrence of layer reflexes and reflexes of a higher order than the first one (Fig. 5 and Table 3). 

The simplest possible attraetor is a fixed point, for which all trajectories starting from the appropriate basin-of-attraction eventually converge onto a single point. For linear dissipative dynamical systems, fixed-point attractors are in fact the only possible type of attractor. Non-linear systems, on the other hand, harbor a much richer spectrum of attractor-types. For example, in addition to fixed-points, there may exist periodic attractors such as limit cycles for two-dimensional flows or doubly periodic orbits for three-dimensional flows. There is also an intriguing class of attractors that have a very complicated geometric structure called strange attractors [ruelleSO],...
