This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The possibility of initiating chemical reactions by high-intensity laser exci tation has captured the imagination of chemists and physicists as well as of industrial scientists and the scientifically informed public in general ever since the laser first became available. Initially, great hopes were held that laser-induced chemistry would revolutionize synthetic chemistry, making possible "bond-specific" or "mode-specific" reactions that were impos sible to achieve under thermal equilibrium conditions. Indeed, some of the early work in this area, typically employing high-power continuous-wave sources, was interpreted in just this way. With further investigation, however, a more conservative picture has emerged, with the laser taking its place as one of a number of available methods for initiation of high-energy chemical transformations. Unlike a number of these methods, such as flash photolysis, shock tubes, and electron-beam radiolysis, the laser is capable of a high degree of spatial and molecular localization of deposited energy, which in turn is reflected in such applications as isotope enrichment or localized surface treatments. The use of lasers to initiate chemical processes has led to the discovery of several distinctly new molecular phenomena, foremost among which is that of multiple-photon excitation and dissociation of polyatomic molecules. This research area has received the greatest attention thus far and forms the focus of the present volume.

Download or read book Operando Research in Heterogeneous Catalysis written by Joost Frenken and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-26 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the emerging field of techniques for visualizing atomic-scale properties of active catalysts under actual working conditions, i.e. high gas pressures and high temperatures. It explains how to understand these observations in terms of the surface structures and dynamics and their detailed interplay with the gas phase. This provides an important new link between fundamental surface physics and chemistry, and applied catalysis. The book explains the motivation and the necessity of operando studies, and positions these with respect to the more traditional low-pressure investigations on the one hand and the reality of industrial catalysis on the other. The last decade has witnessed a rapid development of new experimental and theoretical tools for operando studies of heterogeneous catalysis. The book has a strong emphasis on the new techniques and illustrates how the challenges introduced by the harsh, operando conditions are faced for each of these new tools. Therefore, one can also read this book as a collection of recipes for the development of operando instruments. At present, the number of scientific results obtained under operando conditions is still limited and mostly focused on a simple test reaction, the catalytic oxidation of CO. This reaction thus forms a natural binding element between the chapters, linking the demonstrations of new techniques, and also connecting the theoretical and experimental studies. Some first results on other reactions are also presented. If there is one thing that can be concluded already in this early stage, it is that the catalytic conditions themselves can have dramatic effects on the structure and composition of the surfaces of catalysts, which, in turn can greatly affect the mechanisms, the activity, and the selectivity of the chemical reactions that they catalyze.

Download or read book Heterogeneous Catalysis with Lasers written by Thomas F. George and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theoretical techniques have been developed to describe a variety of laser-induced molecular rate processes occurring at solid surfaces which are involved in heterogeneous catalysis. Such processes include adsorption, migration, chemical reactions and desorption. The role of surface phonons in laser-selective processes and laser heating has been analyzed. The importance of electronic degrees of freedom has been considered for semiconductor and metal substrates, with special emphasis on the laser excitation of surface states. Surface-modified photochemistry has also been investigated, where the effect of a metal surface on the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a laser-driven atom/molecule has been assessed by means of surface-dressed optical Bloch equations. It is seen that the spectrum can be significantly different from the gas-phase case. Two related gas-surface collision processes have also been studied. First, the feasibility of the formation of the electron-hole pairs in a semiconductor by vibrationally excited molecules has been explored. Second, charge transfer in ion-surface collisions has been examined for both one-electron and two-electron transfer processes. Work has been initiated on microstructures and rough structures, including clusters and surface gratings. Keywords: Energy transfer; Quantum optics; Reaction kinetics; Proton neutralization; Ion neutralization; Ion formation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oven systems for high temperature metal vaporization at temperatures in excess of 2000°C are being developed. Modifications of an apparatus appropriate to the production and study of small metal aggregates M/sub n/ (2 less than or equal to n less than or equal to 6) are discussed, including the construction and operation of argon ion and nitrogen pumped dye laser systems. The dye laser system is being used to induce fluorescence from small metal aggregates. Components necessary for interfacing the dye lasers and the aggregates apparatus are outlined. Production of carbon vapor and its reaction with metal atoms and dimers to form carbides are outlined. Initial studies on metal sulfide chemistry are discussed. Studies of the luminescence process are leading to an understanding of chemiluminescent phenomena occurring as a result of the bimolecular reaction of metal atoms and dimers with oxidants; they can be used for determining the upper bounds to the heats of sublimation and vaporization of those ''single collision'' reactions and for determining activation energies for formation of product molecules in a given excited state. Simple methods for inferring the radiative lifetimes of metastable product chemiluminescing molecules are outlined. Efforts are continued toward the formulation of catalytic surfaces via aggregate deposition. Completed chemiluminescence studies of titanium and vanadium oxide systems allowed the determination of a lower bound to the TiO and VO dissociation energies, the heats of vaporization of titanium and vanadium metal, and the nature of those metal atoms (ground or excited states) which react to yield observed chemiluminescence.

Download or read book Radicals on Surfaces written by A. Lund and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of free radicals on surfaces are of interest for several reasons: the spontaneous or stimulated formation of radicals from adsorbed molecules may represent one possible mechanism for heterogeneous catalysis. In some cases the radicals are ionic, indicating that primary oxidation and reduction reactions occur. Radicals can also be used as probes to investigate diffusion processes on catalytic surfaces. The first direct observations were made more than 30 years ago, but detailed studies of structure, reactions and mobility have only recently become feasible with the advent of powerful spectroscopic techniques, to a great extent developed and used by the contributors to this volume. This comprehensive review describes new trends in the field. Leading experts write about the nature of surface active sites, methods to identify them, and the radicals formed from adsorbed molecules interacting with the surface. The emphasis is on the fundamentals covering thermal, photostimulated and radiation induced reactions as well as diffusion processes. This provides the necessary background for technological applications. This book will be useful to those who are interested in surface chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis as well as those who want to study reactive intermediates in chemical reactions. It is also of interest to scientists in photo and radiation physics and chemistry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formulation and development of versatile oven systems for high temperature metal vaporation at temperatures greater than 2000$sup 0$C are discussed. The construction of an apparatus appropriate to the production and study of small metal aggregates M/sub n/ (2 less than or equal to n less than or equal to 6) is discussed at length. This includes a consideration of the construction and operation of an argon ion pumped dye laser system. The dye laser system will be used to induce fluorescence from the small metal aggregates, and thereby will lead to the study of their molecular electronic structure. The production of carbon vapor and the reaction of this vapor with metal atoms and metal dimers to form metal carbides is outlined. A thorough study of the luminescence process leading to a new understanding of those chemiluminescent phenomena occurring as a result of the ''single collision'' bimolecular reaction of metal atoms and metal dimers with select oxidants is outlined. Methods for the determination of upper bounds to the heats of sublimation and vaporization of those metals which can be strongly oxidized in a ''single collision'' bimolecular reaction are presented. Extremely simple methods by which one can infer the radiative lifetimes of metastable product chemiluminescing molecules are also discussed. Beginning efforts toward the formulation of new and novel catalytic surfaces via aggregate deposition are outlined. Current studies of the titanium oxide system are presented. These chemiluminescence studies allow the determination of a lower bound to the TiO dissociation energy and a determination of the heat of vaporization of titanium metal. (auth).
