C–H bond activation for several alkenes (ethylene, propylene, isobutene, cyclohexene and 1-hexene) and alkanes (methane, ethane, n -hexane, 2-methylpentane and 3-methylpentane) has been studied on the (111) crystal face of platinum as a function of temperature at low (<10 −6  Torr) and high (≥1 Torr) pressures in the absence and presence of hydrogen pressures (≥10 Torr). Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy has been used to characterize the adsorbate structures and high pressure scanning tunnelling microscopy (HP-STM) has been used to monitor their surface mobility under reaction conditions during hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and CO poisoning. C–H bond dissociation occurs at low temperatures, approximately 250 K, for all of these molecules, although only at high pressures for the weakly bound alkanes because of their low desorption temperatures. Bond dissociation is known to be surface structure sensitive and we find that it is also accompanied by the restructuring of the metal surface. The presence of hydrogen slows down dehydrogenation and for some of the molecules it influences the molecular rearrangement, thus altering reaction selectivity. Surface mobility of adsorbates is essential to produce catalytic activity. When surface diffusion is inhibited by CO adsorption, ordered surface structures form and the reaction is poisoned. Ethylene hydrogenation is surface structure insensitive, while cyclohexene hydrogenation and dehydrogenation are structure sensitive. n -Hexane and other C 6 alkanes form either upright or flat-lying molecules on the platinum surface which react to produce branched isomers or benzene, respectively.

AbstractLarge-scale molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the atomiclevel stresses on InAs/GaAs mesas. The simulations are based on an interatomic-potential scheme for InAs/GaAs systems which depends on the local chemical composition. Multiresolution techniques are used to speed up the simulations. InAs/GaAs square mesas with { 101 }-type sidewalls are studied. The atomic-level pressure distribution and surface atomic stresses on the sidewalls with 12, 10, 8 and 6 monolayers of InAs overlayers have been calculated.
