It is shown that the Ag nanocube/La2O3 interface catalyses gas phase oxidation of propylene to propylene oxide cooperatively with enhanced selectivity and conversion. Dioxygen is preferentially activated and dissociated by La2O3(001) and the active atomic oxygen over the Ag(100) facet leads to selective propylene epoxidation.

The fundamental role of excess energy dissipation and of surface species mobility, both in the preparation of model metallic catalysts (bimetallic catalysts, bimetallic oxide-supported catalysts), and in the activation of reactant molecules on the catalyst surfaces (single crystals, bimetallic and bimetallic oxide-supported catalysts) are discussed. A generalized model of surface interactions is proposed which satisfactorily explains the trapping of particles from the gas phase at the atomic steps and recovery of the trapping sites due to migration of the trapped species towards flat terraces. Higher probability of encounter of these species with other reactants on flat terraces and easier desorption of the reaction products from there in comparison with the bound state at the edges of atomic steps can be expected. Results of FIM and FEM studies of Pt, Dy-W, Pd-W and Pd-Mo systems are used to illustrate selected features of the proposed general model.

ABSTRACTIn this paper we demonstrate a gas-phase process to fabricate Ag nanoparticles-based bio-sensing devices. Ag nanoparticles, prepared from the gas phase through spray pyrolysis, are size-selected via electrostatic classification. These size-selected nanoparticles are then successfully attracted and aligned onto an electrostatic-patterned biased P-N junction substrate to form high- resolution nanoparticle patterns. Particles in the size range of 30-100 nm were evaluated. Our approach provides a promising tool for precise assembly of nanoparticles for future device applications.

ABSTRACTTiN films were grown by CVD from Ti(N M e2)4 and ammonia using a novel gas delivery system which allowed the sample to be kept in high vacuum while the reactants were mixed at elevated pressures. The object was to study fundamental chemistries and growth properties. We obtained clean (<5% carbon), near-stoichiometric (Ti:N = 1.15+/-0.1) TiN films. The gas phase chemistry was studied by mass spectrometry while the films were analyzed in situ by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and then removed for Rutherford backscattering (RBS) analysis. Film quality was studied as a functionof reactant ratio, substrate temperature, and reactant gas pressure. We obtained definitive information on the growth mechanism. Isotopic substituiton experiments establish that a rapid transami-nation reaction occurs in the gas phase. Mass spectrometry experiments indicate that the reactive intermediate is polymeric, consisting of Ti, N, H, arid perhapscarbon. Growth on patterned wafers shows that this intermediate has a high sticking coefficient and a low surface mobility at 300°C. These findings are considered in terms ofthe potential of this precursor system to be used in manufacturing.

Nanoparticles can be used in a large variety of applications, including magnetic sensing, biological, superconductivity, tissue engineering, and other fields. In this study, we explore the fabrication of gas phase silver nanoparticles using a sputtering evaporation source. This setup composed of a dual magnetron cluster source holds several advantages over other techniques. The system has independent control over the cluster concentration and a wide range of cluster size and materials that can be used for the clusters and for the matrix where it can be embedded. Characterization of these silver nanoparticles was done using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We obtain a lateral width of 10.6 nm with a dispersion of 0.24 nm. With atomic force microscopy (AFM) a Gaussian fit of this distribution yields and average height of 6.3 nm with a standard deviation of 1.4 nm. We confirm that the deposited silver nanoparticles have a homogenous area distribution, that they have a defined shape and size distribution, and that they are single standing nanoparticles. Given that the scientific literature is not precise regarding the toxic concentration of the nanoparticles, devices such as ours can help clarify these questions. In order to explore further biological applications, we have done preliminary experiments of cell spreading (myoblast adhesion), obtaining interesting morphological changes correlated with the silver concentration on the surface. With a deposited silver concentration ranging from 100–620 ng/cm2, the cells showed morphological changes in a short time of 2 h. We conclude that this high precision nanoparticle fabrication technique is adequate for further biological research.
