Cluster Chemisorption

  • Chapter
Theory of Chemisorption

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Physics ((TCPHY,volume 19))

Abstract

In the past several years, considerable emphasis has been placed on the study of solid surfaces and on the interaction of adsorbates with such surfaces. This interest has arisen for a number of reasons. The chief reasons are: surface problems are of considerable scientific and technical interest of themselves; and that the sensitivity of experimental procedures, and the power of theoretical techniques combined with the increase in availability of high-speed digital computers have finally made possible surface science studies to a wide variety of investigators. An example of a problem of considerable scientific as well as technological interest, which is amenable to cluster study, would be the relative change in position of energy levels in a semiconductor due to an impurity as a function of whether that impurity is substitutional, interstitial, in the bulk or at a surface. Techniques are evolving to where this question may be answered in the near future. A second example which is also of scientific and technological interest concerns the influence of surface detects on chemisorption. This question is currently under intensive study by several groups at the University of Illinois and elsewhere. The other paramount reason for the interest in surface science has been brought about by the “energy crisis”. Considerable interest has been focused on the use of more efficient catalysts for coal gasification, or fuel cells for example, or producing better converters for solar generation of electricity. The net result of all this has been an enormous effort in understanding the various properties of surfaces.
