Surface mobilities

The sensitivity of the planes of single crystals to cyclic polarization depends on the kind of the metal and the crystallographic orientation of the plane itself. Metals melting at low temperatures (e.g., Sb, Pb, andZn), with mobile surface atoms, are less prone to surface reconstmction than metals melting at high temperatures (e.g., Pt, Au, Cu, and Ag). This is... 

The reactants in Step 7 are gas molecules Aldag, Lin, and Clark (ii) pointed out, however, that the calculated value of L is entirely different if the reactants are taken to be mobile surface species that subsequently react on fixed sites. The calculation one makes for such a model has particular relevance for the sparsely covered case, but it applies also to cases in which the coverage is larger. 

Equation (6) a little more fully. As already noted, there is a tendency for mobile surfaces to decrease spontaneously in area. Therefore it is convenient to shift our emphasis from work done on the system to work done by the system in such a reduction of area. If the quantity bw is defined as the work done by the system when its area is changed, then Equation (6) becomes... 

Throughout most of this chapter we have been concerned with adsorption at mobile surfaces. In these systems the surface excess may be determined directly from the experimentally accessible surface tension. At solid surfaces this experimental advantage is missing. All we can obtain from the Gibbs equation in reference to adsorption at solid surfaces is a thermodynamic explanation for the driving force underlying adsorption. Whatever information we require about the surface excess must be obtained from other sources. 

The other extreme of adsorbate behavior is a very mobile surface species. In this case there is only a very shallow potential well surrounding each adsorption site. The adsorbed species are basically free to traverse the surface as a 2D gas. ... 

In such a case the motion in the x — y plane is treated with the particle-in-a-box approach used to derive the partition function for gas-phase one- and three-dimensional motion. In the case of the 2D gas of mobile surface species, the partition function is... 

We can compare the coverage of mobile surface species predicted by Eq. 11.99 with the coverage calculated for immobile species (Langmuir adsorption isotherm) derived in Section 11.5.3. To do this comparison, we take the low-pressure limit of Eq. 11.79, in which the denominator becomes unity. The ratio of the coverages in these two limiting cases is... 

Case (M). Let us now consider the alternative in which Xi stands for a mobile surface intermediate. In this case, we will postulate that the two-equivalent oxidation product X2 is formed by the encounter of two Xj species, that the subsequent oxidation reactions occur with Xj species and that all these reaction steps are irreversible. 

According to the foregoing discussion, it must hence be concluded that either the first step in the decomposition process is reversible, or that the mechanism is that in which the decomposition involves a bimolecular step between two mobile surface holes and in which the reducing agent reacts by donating an electron to such a partially broken surface bond. 

This step is followed by the stabilization of 02 and the subsequent interaction between 02 and C3H5 yielding acrolein and a surface hydroxyl group. The mechanism for complete oxidation was proposed to involve a high concentration of nonstabilized, highly mobile surface oxygen species.

Only for larger fields exceeding 10 V in reversed polarization direction will mobile surface charges contribute to the overall signal SAC in pfm (deposited upon switching). In contact experiments, however, such mobile charges are directly eliminated via the conductive tip.

The second point concerns the surface mobility of atoms on small particles at low temperatures (close to ambient). From the work of Listvan106 on Au clusters it appears that surface mobility of Au occurs at room temperature (see also refs. 102 and 107). In this work it is proposed that a small particle consists of a crystalline core covered with a few disordered layers of mobile surface atoms. If such mobility is real it raises important questions about the relevance of bulk structures to surface structures in small particles. LEED experiments clearly show108 109 that for a bulk solid such a surface film does not exist at, or near, room temperature. However, the situation for small particles is less clear, and several theoretical treatments109 110 have emphasized that the solid-liquid transition should always appear smeared out when the particle size decreases. Catalysis depends on surface effects, so may be less dependent on particle size or overall morphology than might be anticipated. 

Experiments employing a sudden change in incident flux density have indicated that the release of molecular hydrogen is a first order process [35, 36]. This possibly indicates the combination of a mobile surface hydrogen with an atom in a surface trap [36]. The order of the process will have implications on tokamak surfaces which will experience varying flux densities during a discharge. 

The results obtained for a flow through an elastic border with mobile surfaces indicate that the coincidence between the experimental and calculated from Eq. (5.23) profiles cannot serve a, a synonymous criterion of the tangential immobility of surfaces. The real profile of border radii depends significantly on the radii of border outset and mouth as well as on the pressure gradient. 

There are several important features in Fig. 15. First, the sequence dependence of Ms through Cl, C2, C3, and H8 follows a pattern essentially identical to that of n (O2) (compare with Figs. 8,11, and 12). This is particularly obvious in the extended helical periodicity of both Ms and FI (O2) throughout the long C3 segment. This correlation is expected, because the most immobile (buried) and mobile (surface) residues are also the most inaccessible and accessible, respectively. Second, the highest values of Ms are reached in the C terminus, beyond 328, and in the...
