AbstractAdjustable (hydrogenolysis/hydrogenation) ratios (i.e., selectivity) of thiophene over sulfided ruthenium catalysts have been observed to depend on the method of presulfidization. Sulfidization in 10% H2S/H2 at 300–800K yielded a selectivity greater than 100, whereas a ratio of ca. 1 was noted after presulfidization in 100% H2S. The transition from one selectivity regime to another is reversible and can be changed via subsequent annealing or resulfidization procedures. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows similar results where sulfidization in 100% H2S yields: (i) a higher sulfur uptake with a corresponding 0.5 eV shift of the S 2P1/2–3/2 peaks to higher binding energy; (ii) multilayer sulfur incorporation at lower temperatures; and (iii) similar reversible behavior following subsequent annealing or resulfidization. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption studies also reveal that sulfur coverages affect thiophene adsorption, orientation and cracking on ruthenium surfaces.

AbstractGe is deposited on HfO2 surfaces by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with GeH4. 0.7-1.0 ML GeHx (x = 0-3) is deposited by thermally cracking GeH4 on a hot tungsten filament. Ge oxidation and bonding are studied at 300-1000 K with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Ge, GeH, GeO, and GeO2 desorption are measured with temperature programmed desorption (TPD) at 400-1000 K. Ge initially reacts with the dielectric forming an oxide layer followed by Ge deposition and formation of nanocrystals in CVD at 870 K. 0.7-1.0 ML GeHx deposited by cracking rapidly forms a contacting oxide layer on HfO2 that is stable from 300-800 K. Ge is fully removed from the HfO2 surface after annealing to 1000 K. These results help explain the stability of Ge nanocrystals in contact with HfO2.

In this work we present the investigations on the blackening of the outer jacket of the High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps. For this purpose ceramic arc tubes and their glass outer jackets taken from lamps burned for different times (0h-10000h) were examined by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) in order to determine the composition of the deposit on the internal wall of glass outer jacket. In the case of the several thousand hours burned lamps the outer bulb was found to be covered by aluminium, which comes to a black deposit on the glass surface. XPS identified Al on the glass surface can be found in two different chemical state (elemental Al, Al2O3). The assumed evaporation of aluminium-oxide ceramic tube might be described by a dissociative mechanism of the alumina evaporation. This papers described the possible mechanism of the alumina evaporation. Na was also found in the black deposit, whose cause of this in the case of the several thousand hours burned lamps is probably related to the sodium transport through the walls of the arc tube
