Science Tools

For example, energy transfer in molecule-surface collisions is best studied in nom-eactive systems, such as the scattering and trapping of rare-gas atoms or simple molecules at metal surfaces. We follow a similar approach below, discussing the dynamics of the different elementary processes separately. The surface must also be simplified compared to technologically relevant systems. To develop a detailed understanding, we must know exactly what the surface looks like and of what it is composed. This requires the use of surface science tools (section B 1.19-26) to prepare very well-characterized, atomically clean and ordered substrates on which reactions can be studied under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The most accurate and specific experiments also employ molecular beam teclmiques, discussed in section B2.3. 

We have already mentioned that fundamental studies in catalysis often require the use of single crystals or other model systems. As catalyst characterization in academic research aims to determine the surface composition on the molecular level under the conditions where the catalyst does its work, one can in principle adopt two approaches. The first is to model the catalytic surface, for example with that of a single crystal. By using the appropriate combination of surface science tools, the desired characterization on the atomic scale is certainly possible in favorable cases. However, although one may be able to study the catalytic properties of such samples under realistic conditions (pressures of 1 atm or higher), most of the characterization is necessarily carried out in ultrahigh vacuum, and not under reaction conditions. 

All tools are displayed in figures of their actual size in the Fine Science Tools (FST) catalog. Please take a look before ordering because you might already have tools similar to those listed in the lab.

Obviously, there is still much interesting work to be done on infrared spectroscopy of molecules adsorbed on metal surfaces in the future, both for those interested in instrumental development as well as those who will use the technique as one of many surface science tools.

Genes are the units of heredity that control the characteristics of organisms. A gene is made of DNA. No two individuals have the same DNA sequence. DNA fingerprinting has become a very powerful forensic science tool in the investigation of crime (Figure 15.27).

The advocacy for forensic potential of fungi has recently been revived (Carter and Tibbett 2003 Tibbett and Carter 2003). However, there have been no major developments in this field for thirty years (see Sagara 1976b). We hope mycologists and forensic scientists will collaborate to take the concept of forensic mycology forward into an accomplished and effective forensic science tool.

As surface science tools became more sophisticated it became abundantly clear that nearly all tools required extremely clean surfaces and high vacuum techniques. Michel Boudart has pointed out a number of times the need to bridge the gap between the high vacuum spectroscopic techniques and the real world of catalytic reactions. 

However, a better structure designing requests a finer characterization of nanopores. We need to know structural features of nanopores as accurate as possible in order to develop the best nanostructured materials for the specific function. Nevertheless, nanopores are hidden in the bulk of solids. Consequently, established surface science tools cannot be directly applied to the nanopore characterization, leading to necessity of an inherent characterization method for nanopores on the basis of gas adsorption. This paper summarizes main characterization methods, which can be applied to nanopore systems, and essential roles of gas adsorption will be described.

The properties of alloy and intermetallic compound surfaces play an important role for the development of new materials. Attention has been stimulated from various topics in microelectronics, magnetism, heterogeneous catalysis and corrosion research. The investigation of binary alloys serves also as a first step in the direction to explore multi-component systems and is of particular regard in material science as a consequence of their widespread use in technical applications. The distribution of two elements in the bulk and at the surface probably results in new characteristics of the alloy or compound as compared to a simple superposition of properties known from the pure constituents. Consequently, surfaces of bulk- and surface- alloys have to be investigated like completely new substances by means of appropriate material research techniques and surface science tools. [1-6].

There is a trend in increasing sophistication of spectroscopic tools used to study sintering and redispersion. In the next decade we might expect additional insights into atomic and molecular processes during reaction at the atomic scale using STM, an ytical HRTEM, and other such powerful surface science tools.
