Physisorption: Structures and Interactions

  • Conference paper
Interfacial Aspects of Phase Transformations

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 87))

Abstract

We survey simple inert gas adsorption emphasizing surfaces where registry forces play an unimportant role. Such systems allow a detailed analysis of the structural and thermodynamic properties in terms of adatom-adatom and adatom-substrate interactions. We discuss the experimental techniques, primarily those giving structural information. Comparison of these data with results of statistical mechanical models allows quantitative assessment of the contributions to the interactions.

  52. As in most ultra-high vacuum adsorption experiments the sample is not at the same temperature as the chamber walls, but this effect should be negligible since the excess heat delivered by the gas to the sample is small compared to the incident thermal radiation and the excess kinetic energy of the atom is accommodated by the substrate within a few atomic vibrations.
