Eutectic melting (and also similar systems with added adjuvants/solvents) has been used to prepare homogeneous substrate mixtures with extremely high concentration levels as media for enzymatic reactions [37, 68, 69]. 

The effect of the polymer backbone on the intrinsic chemical reactivity of metal complexes has been studied in aqueous solution and in Nafion (perfluorocarbon sulfonic acid) film 44). Using a model catalyst-substrate system, the independent kinetic effects of reaction site homogeneity, substrate diffusion into the polymer film, and changes on activation parameters have been addressed. The ligand substitution reaction (6), was chosen for this purpose (Py = pyridine and its derivatives). 

When one considers the role of the matrix in the particle-induced emission of secondary ions it is no wonder that it is so difficult to unravel all the processes that take place. The matrix is the medium in which the primary excitation occurs. It must also disperse some of that energy to sites at the surface where secondary ion emission occurs. It must provide the species to be desorbed and at the same time mediate the ionization process. In an attempt to understand these complex coupled processes we have tried to simplify the system by first selecting a homogeneous substrate for the energy deposition and then studying the ionization-emission process for species that are present as a submonolayer on the surface (26). 

Collective diffusion on homogenous substrates usually obeys an Arrhenius law under conditions where it can be conveniently measured. Accordingly, the data are analyzed assuming that energetics and dynamics can be factorized, i.e. ...

A variety of model catalysts have been employed we start with the simplest. Single-crystal surfaces of noble metals (platinum, rhodium, palladium, etc.) or oxides are structurally the best defined and the most homogeneous substrates, and the structural definition is beneficial both to experimentalists and theorists. Low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) facilitated the discovery of the relaxation and reconstruction of clean surfaces and the formation of ordered overlayers of adsorbed molecules (3,28-32). The combined application of LEED, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), field emission microscopy (FEM), X-ray and UV-photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, UPS), IR reflection... 

In this work, the adsorption of binary mixtures is studied through MC simulation in the context of the lattice-gas model. The topography has been characterized by shallow and deep sites, arranged in a chessboard-like structure. The disorder has been associated to one of the species, while the other component interact with an homogeneous substrate. The process is monitored through partial and total isotherms, and differential heats of adsorption, which appear as sensitive to both lateral interactions and energetic disorder. 

Fig. 1 shows the MC results for the coverage fluctuations/(/ =ri ) corresponding to the random tqx>graphy (0=0), and for different values of the NN interaction, w. As it was expected, the adsorption process is qualitatively similar to the corresponding to the homogeneous substrate. For w=Q,f exhibits the linear dependence/=( 1-6) in this case, particles occupy firstly the strongest sites, which are distributed at random on the surface and the process follows with the filling of weaker and weaker sites. 

For the repulsive case (m >0), and for low values of w, f monotonically decrease with 0 while for a fixed value of 0,f decreases with w, because for a given value of ft the number of adparticles N decreases with w. The minimum in/at M).S for large values of w indicates the tendency to ordered structures in the adsorbate, since the particles adsorb avoiding NN interactions. In this case, lateral interactions become more important than heterogeneity (h c=1.763668, 6>c=0.5 are the critical values for a order-disorder transition on an homogeneous substrate [3,7]). In this conditions fluctuations will strongly promote the collective difiiision in the adlayer. Contrarily attractive interactions inhibit the collective difiusion as f increases with w for all 9 (fig. 1(b)). 

Particularly, for monolayer adsorption on an homogeneous substrate without lateral interactions, for which... 

It may be good to note here that various molecular cross-sections have now been considered. In the treatment of adsorption on solid surfaces was introduced. Interpreting this area in terms of lattice models is not a property of the adsorptive molecule but of the adsorbent. It is possible to imagine a situation where greatly exceeds the real molecular cross-section. On the other hand, for mobile monolayers on homogeneous surfaces is the real molecular cross-section or, for that matter, it is the excluded area per molecule. To avoid an undue abundance of symbols we have used the same symbol for both situations, for instance in table 3.3 in sec. 3.4e. It is to be expected that a and a, obtained by compression of monolayers, are more similar to the a s for adsorbed mobile monolayers on homogeneous substrates than to those for localized monolayers. 

Experimental results on the basis of a kinetic approach of Me UPD on quasi-homogeneous substrate surfaces using large and small signal system perturbation techniques are rather rare [3.89, 3.119, 3.214-3.216, 3.313, 3.314]. 

These controversial results on the kinetics of Me UPD processes, obtained on the basis of the simplest approach assuming quasi-homogeneous substrate surfaces, led to the development of a different kinetic model including surface inhomogeneities, gradients of Meads> and surface diffusion as discussed in the following. 

In the following, a general model [3.94] including formation of an expanded 2D Meads phase on a homogeneous substrate as well as a first order phase transition leading to a condensed 2D Meads phase is discussed for potentiostatic pulse polarization experiments. In this treatment, surface diffusion of Meads is neglected. 

S(/) can be described by the well-known Avrami theorem [3.317], supposing multiple nucleation on a quasi-homogeneous substrate surface with a sufficient density of nuclei, statistically local distribution of nuclei, and overlapping of growing 2D islands ... 

D nucleation and growth can be excluded. This is a necessary but not sufficient criterion for a nucleation-free Meads overlayer formation process on quasi-homogeneous substrate surfaces.

Boudreau and Cooper showed that adsorptive energy distributions can be computed directly from chromatograms (38)- Their method is similar in principle to the present analysis, except for the use of an adsorption isotherm equation that provides an analytical solution for Equation 15. This simplification, which describes all adsorption isotherms as if they occur below the two-dimensional critical temperature 7 c = 0.60 (6), speeds computation of the histogram. Its practical effect is to broaden the energy scale artificially, however, particularly when light vapors are used to characterize low energy, homogeneous substrates. 

The equilibrium situation which exists after a liquid drop is brought into contact with a smooth homogeneous substrate depends on the balance between adhesion and cohesion free energies involved. Three cases can be identified ... 

A somewhat more complicated situation is encountered for. slit-pores with (iiifinitoimally) smooth (homogeneous) substrates. As we explained in Section 1.3.2, the confined fluid is homogeneous across each x-y plane located at different positions z relative to the confining surfaces. Thus, from Elqs. (137) and (1.59), we find... 

The previously discussed confinement scenario becomes slightly more complex if we allow the substrates to attract molecules in addition to just repelling them. We focus on a chemically homogeneous substrate surface first. 

We now extend the previous discussion of pure confined lattice fluids to binary (A-B) mixtures on a simple cubic lattice oi J f = nz sites, whose lattice constant is again i. We deviate from our previous notation (i.e., M = nx%r ) because we concentrate on chemically homogeneous substrates where n = n riy located in a plane at some fixed distance from the substrate, which are energetically equivalent. Moreover, our subsequent development will benefit notationally by replacing henceforth n by just z. 

In the model of the pore, the mixtiu-e is confined between two planar, homogenous substrates perpendicular to the -aada. Thus the two substrates are at = 0 and z = z + 1, where z is the number of lattice layers of the mixture parallel with the x-y plane. The width of the slit-pore is zt. Molecules do not occupy lattice cells at z = 0 and z = z + 1, which reflects the hard-core repulsion of the substrates. In the experimental system the water molecules are favored by the pore wall. This preferential interaction with the suKstrate is modeled by a potential [107]...
