Low- and high-energy photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrates that ethylene and halogeno-substituted alkenes adsorb irreversibly and dissociatively on a Fe(111) single crystal surface at 300 K. Carbon-carbon bond breaking of acetylene is observed at low coverage and 300 K, the chemisorption régime at higher coverages being more complex.


The chemisorption of dinitrogen, ammonia and hydrogen on the Fe (111) single crystal surface has been studied by low energy electron diffraction and high - and low - energy photoelectron spectroscopy. The clean surface is shown to be unreconstructed. Dinitrogen is chemisorbed with a low sticking probability of ca . 1 x 10 -7 at 420 K and 2 x 10 -7 at 470 K and an activation energy of ca . 20 kJ mol -1 ; evidence is presented that dinitrogen is completely dissociated at the surface. The ‘nitride’ layer shows no reaction when exposed to hydrogen at pressures of up to 10 -5 torr and temperatures up to 650 K. The chemisorption régime of ammonia is a mixed one: extensive dehydrogenation occurs at low coverage with associative sorption at higher coverage. Studies of the effects of preadsorption of hydrogen on the chemisorption of ammonia are summarized.

ABSTRACTIn203 films were deposited on YSZ (001) single crystal surface at 800°C at an oxygen pressure of 14 Pa by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. A heteroepitaxial relationship between the film and the substrate was seen in TEM photographs and X-ray diffraction measurements. The w locking curve full width of half maximum (FWHM) of the In203 (004) x-ray diffraction was 0.06°. Film conductivities were ∼10 S/cm or less, while carriers on the order of lO18/cm3 were generated.

AbstractThe surface properties of the (0001) surfaces of single crystals of hafnium and hafnium diboride are compared with a boride film deposited on the Hf(0001) surface. The surfaces were characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). Boron deposition was achieved through the thermal decomposition of diborane. The deposited boron reacts with the hafnium substrate to form HfB2 as determined by XPS and the HfB2 films were found to be epitaxial as determined by LEED. The epitaxial nature of the thin films was confirmed with X-ray diffraction. The epitaxial thin films of HfB2 on Hf(0001) display properties identical to those of the HfB2(0001) single crystal surface.

AbstractIdeal sillenite type Bi12FeO20 (BFO) micron sized single crystals have been successfully grown via inexpensive hydrothermal method. The refined single crystal X-ray diffraction data reveals cubic Bi12FeO20 structure with single crystal parameters. Occurrence of rare Fe4+ state is identified via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The lattice parameter (a) and corresponding molar volume (Vm) of Bi12FeO20 have been measured in the temperature range of 30–700 °C by the X-ray diffraction method. The thermal expansion coefficient (α) 3.93 × 10–5 K−1 was calculated from the measured values of the parameters. Electronic structure and density of states are investigated by first principle calculations. Photoelectrochemical measurements on single crystals with bandgap of 2 eV reveal significant photo response. The photoactivity of as grown crystals were further investigated by degrading organic effluents such as Methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) under natural sunlight. BFO showed photodegradation efficiency about 74.23% and 32.10% for degrading MB and CR respectively. Interesting morphology and microstructure of pointed spearhead like BFO crystals provide a new insight in designing and synthesizing multifunctional single crystals.
