Book Electronic Phenomena in Adsorption and Catalysis on Semiconductors and Dielectrics

Download or read book Electronic Phenomena in Adsorption and Catalysis on Semiconductors and Dielectrics written by Vsevolod F. Kiselev and published by Springer. This book was released on 1987-04-30 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now firmly established that various adsorptive and catalytic processes taking place on the surface of semiconductors and in MIS structures strongly influence their electronic properties and hence modify the parameters of semi conductor devices. The inverse problem of how the semiconductor's electronic subsystem influences adsorption and dissociation of molecules at the surface has been recognized but much less explored. The main purpose of the present book is to generalize the experimental data and explain the relationship be tween these two classes of phenomena. We also discuss tentative models of surface electronic states and their interaction with adsorbed molecules. The subject of this book should attract the attention of researchers work ing in the overlapping areas of physics and chemistry, and of physics and biology. The research done in this field will help to widen the scope of semi conductor applications by finding novel ways of employing surface effects in the construct ion of mi croe 1 ectroni c devi ces, semi conductor gas ana lysers, solar cells, etc. The authors hope that this book will be useful to a wide circle of chemists and physicists concerned with the study of interphase phenomena and questions of adsorption and catalysis. Certain parts of the book will be helpful to physicists and technicians working in rapidly developing branches of semicon ductor physics and technology. The book can also serve as a textbook for both under- and postgraduates speci al i zi ng in thi s fi e 1 d.

Book Ceramics Science and Technology  Volume 4

Download or read book Ceramics Science and Technology Volume 4 written by Ralf Riedel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although ceramics have been known to mankind literally for millennia, research has never ceased. Apart from the classic uses as a bulk material in pottery, construction, and decoration, the latter half of the twentieth century saw an explosive growth of application fields, such as electrical and thermal insulators, wear-resistant bearings, surface coatings, lightweight armour, and aerospace materials. In addition to plain, hard solids, modern ceramics come in many new guises such as fabrics, ultrathin films, microstructures and hybrid composites. Built on the solid foundations laid down by the 20-volume series Materials Science and Technology, Ceramics Science and Technology picks out this exciting material class and illuminates it from all sides. Materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biochemists, physicists and medical researchers alike will fi nd this work a treasure trove for a wide range of ceramics knowledge from theory and fundamentals to practical approaches and problem solutions.

Book Adsorption and Catalysis on Transition Metals and Their Oxides

Download or read book Adsorption and Catalysis on Transition Metals and Their Oxides written by Vsevolod F. Kiselev and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with adsorption and catalysis on the surface of transition elements and their compounds, many of which are in teresting because of their particular electronic structure. The authors have worked through a vast body of experimental evi dence on the structure and properties of surfaces of transition metals and relevant oxides. Consideration is given mostly to simple (as opposed to mixed) oxides of transition elements, to common metals and to the adsorption of simple gases. A great deal of attention is paid to the nature of active surface sites responsible for chemisorption and catalytic transformations. The description relies mainly on the simplified ligand-field theory, which, however, proves quite satisfactory for predicting the adsorptive and catalytic activity of species. In many cases simple systems were explored with the aid of novel techniques, and it is only for such systems that the mechanism of the ele mentary act of adsorption and catalysis can be given adequate treatment. The present monograph has emerged from our earlier work in Russian, which appeared in the Khimiya Publishing House (Mos cow) in 1981. This English edition has, however, been revised completely to broaden its scope and to include more recent a chievements. For fruitful discussions the authors are grateful to A.A.

Book Nonequilibrium Processes in Catalysis

Download or read book Nonequilibrium Processes in Catalysis written by Oleg V. Krylov and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonequilibrium Processes in Catalysis presents modern ideas and experimental data (e.g., molecular beams, laser technique) on adsorption and catalysis, the mechanism of energy exchange in the processes of particles interaction with a surface, and the lifetimes of excited particles on a surface. Previously unpublished theoretical information regarding the principle of chemoenergetical stimulation accounting for the acceleration of one reaction at the expense of reactant excitation in another is provided, and new ideas about nonequilibrium surface diffusion are explored. Examples of the formation of nonequilibrium dissipative structures in catalysis are presented, including auto-oscillations, auto-waves, multiplicity of kinetic regimes, nonequilibrium phase transition, and decelerated electron exchange between solid and adsorbed species. The book also describes new experimental methods for studying nonequilibrium and quick processes in catalysis. Nonequilibrium Processes in Catalysis will benefit physicists involved with surface science, chemists involved with adsorption and catalysis, engineers, vacuum scientists, physical chemists, materials chemists, students, and others interested in these processes.

Book Non Crystalline Films for Device Structures

Download or read book Non Crystalline Films for Device Structures written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-12-11 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics of Thin Films is one of the longest running continuing series in thin film science, consisting of 25 volumes since 1963. The series contains quality studies of the properties of various thin films materials and systems. In order to be able to reflect the development of today's science and to cover all modern aspects of thin films, the series, starting with Volume 20, has moved beyond the basic physics of thin films. It now addresses the most important aspects of both inorganic and organic thin films, in both their theoretical and their technological aspects. Volume 29 consists of chapters pulled from Hari Singh Nalwa's forthcoming Handbook of Thin Film Materials (ISBN: 0-12-512908-4). The chapters were selected because they deal exclusively with amorphous film structures and because they have a common relevance to semiconductor, or electronic, devices and circuits. These are subjects not yet stressed in the Thin Films series.
